well it doesnt say that they actually paid the 30 dollars. IT said they had to pay 9 each which equals 27 dollars. they gave an additional two dollars to the bellboy. So really they only paid 27.65 (approx.) cents a piece..there is no extra dollar.
Or it is stating that they only paid 27 dollars total including the bellboy..Meaning that the hotel room was only 25 dollars and bellboy got 2.00. There is no money missing either way you look at it.

Youve completed worded that riddle rong. It should be:
Three men checked into a hotel and decided to share a single room. The hotel manager gave them a total price of $30. The men split the cost evenly by paying $10 each. However, the manager realized that it was a Monday night, which meant the hotel had a special rate: rooms were only $25. He had overcharged the three men $5. He immediately called the bellboy, gave him the $5 and told him to return it to the men. When the bellboy took the $5 back, the men were so pleased at the bellboy’s honesty that they tipped the bellboy $2 of the $5 he returned and each kept $1 for himself. So, initially, there were $30. The men paid a total of $27. The bellboy got $2. It adds up to $29. Where did the extra $1 go?

you have the question wrong.
The 3 guys gave the manager $30 (nice room).
The manager decided to give them a $5 discount.
He gave the bell boy $5 to give the men. The bellboy gave the men $3 and kept $2 so the men only paid $27 and the bellboy had $2. where did the other dollar go?????
