3 Men Go Into A Hotel.
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?

25 / 3 = 8.(3)

25 + (3 x 1) / 3 = 9.(3)

25 + (3 x 1) + 2 = 30




The men didn't pay 9 dollars each. they paid 9. 3333(3) dollars and the bellboy kept 2. There is no missing dollar.
