what happened to the missing dollar?

Question

3 guys were traveling together and stopped at a hotel 4 the night.
The hotel desk clerk says"I have some good news & some bad news.The bad news is that I only have one room available for tonight.The good news is it has 3 beds in it."The 3 men are traveling together anyway so they decide to take the room. The desk clerk tells them the room will be $30 for the night. The men each take out a $10 bill and pay the bill.While they were on the way up to their room the clerk back at the desk started feeling guilty about charging them so much money. He tells the bellhop 2 take $5 dollars up 2 the room and give it to them for a refund.So the bellhop starts up to their roon and gets to thinking about how 2 divide $5 between 3people.By the time he reaches their room he decides 2give them each $1and keep$2 for himself as a tip.Each man paid $10each originally and got$1 in return so that means they paid $9 each for their room. 3 times $9 is $27+$2(the bellhop got)=$29 what happened to the other $1?

Answer 2
