This will Mess With Your Head.
3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.
A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5.
ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF.
THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.
WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR??!!!!

The question is misleading. Each man did end up paying $9 each for a total of $27, but that $27 includes the $2 the Bellboy kept. $27 plus the $3 the bellboy gave back makes the original $30

$25 is the cost of the room. But Take $3 away and $2 the bellhop kept, plus the orginal $25 for the room makes a total of $30. of what the room orginally was.

There is no missing dollar.
The hotel kept $25
The bellboy kept $ 2
The men got back $3
That's $30
