They want to share a room,,the guy at the reception charges them $30. Each pay ten and leave to their room,,later the guy realizes he charged them too much he shouldv only charged them $25,,being honest he gives $5 in singles to the bus boy and tells him to take the $5 and give it to the three guys upstairs.On his way up the busboy thinks for a sec and realizes that itl be a lil complicated for him to split $5 between 3 guys so he put $2 in his pocket went up and gave each guy a doller back. Now the room ended up costing each guy $9 X the 3 guys = 27 + the two dollars the busboy kept thats 29,,where is the missing dollar??

You guys are thinking too much into it...
The Cashier took $30 from 3 guys ($10 each)
room should have been $25. He gives the bell boy$5 to give BACK to the three guys. He gives them $1 each (total of $3) and keeps $2. If the question is asked PROPERLY the answer would have been given.
Therefore, there is no missing dollar, as the three ended up paying $27 for the room, the bellboy took the other $2. $27-$2=$25.
It's a trick question!!!!

There is no missing dollar. $25 for the room. And then the $3 that the bus boy gives back. $25 + $3 = $28 and then the $2 that the bus boy put in his pocket $28+$2 = $30

You bad at math? 30-5 = 25!
3x8=24
3x9=27
They did not pay 24 each + 5 = 29
They paid $8.33 each. There is no missing dollar.

Since the thief pocketed the 2 bucks
the room cost 28 and each paid 9.33

each guy only needed to pay 8.33, so the missing dollar is divided by the 3 guys because they paid $9 each---33 cents too much.

Nothing missing, 25 plus 5 = 30 adds up to me, its the way you are saying it dude.

if you divide $25 among 3 people you will get >> $8.33 each
and if $3 is returned , it will be that each one payed $9.33, when you add 9.33x3=27.99 so lets take it as $28 .... problem solved!!
*Anyways good one ...
