3 travelers stopped at a motel and asked the night clerk for a room. the clerk said the room was $30 for the night and each guest handed over $10 and went to the room for the night. the next morning when the day clerk came in, the night clerk told him of renting the room the night before. the day clerk said the room should have only been $25 and gave the night clerk 5 one dollar bills and told him to take it to room and give it back to them. on the way he realized that it would be too difficult to split $5 three ways, so he put $2 in his pocket and gave each of the guest $1 a peice. so... if the guest originally paid $10 a peice and was given $1 back, they ended up paying $9 a peice, which is $27. plus the $2 the night clerk put in his pocket is $29. what happened to the other dollar?
