3 people went to a motel. They paid $10 each and went upstairs. The bellboy carried their luggage. The people were very polite, so when the bellboy went downstairs and told the manager, the manager decided to let them pay $25 instead of $30 altogether.
So he gave the bellboy $5 to give to them. While the bellboy was going upstairs he thought, "You can't split $5 into 3." So he decided he'd give them $1 off each person and pocketed the $2.
Now if he gave them $1 off, they paid $9 each. $9 x 3 = $27. The bellboy pocketed $2. Where has the remaining dollar gone?
