Three men go to a hotel, the room costs 30 dollars, so each man pays ten dollars. Once they get to the room the manager realizes that he overcharged them by 5 dollars, so he gave the bellboy back 5 one dollar bills. On the way to the room the bellboy decides since they didn't tip him, he will pocket 2 dollars. He gets to the room, gives the men each 1 dollar back. Therefore, each man has paid 9 dollars, 9 x 3 is 27, the bellboy kept 2 makes 29.
Where is the missing dollar?

The hotel has 25, the bellboy has 2...each man paid 9 dollars, 25 plus 2 equals 27. 9 times 3 equals 27. There is no missing dollar.
