What other dollar? Each man paid $9. That's $27 total. The cashier has the $25 dollars and the bellhop kept the $2 dollars. No other dollar, mate.

The clerk has $25. Each man in the room has $1 for total $3 & the BellBoy has $2. $25, $3 & $2 = $30. So no missing dollar. But do they have bellboys anymore? Maybe there's a missing bellboy. If so then there would be $2 missing. Ha Ha!

ok. here it is. the man charged 30. then he sent the bellboy to the room with 5, which makes that man have 25. the bellboy passed out the money, 1 dollar to 3 men, which makes the total 28, then the extra 2 that the bellboy kept, makes it 30.

too hasty!
the three guys payed at the end of the day $9 each so the sum is $27 not $30
25 of the 27 is with the guy behind the desk and the remaining 2 is with the bell boy.
If we want to know what became of the $30 as a whole... then 25 is with the guy behind the desk, 2 is with the bellboy and 3 is with the three guys, $1 each!!
