There were 3 men that rented a hotel room and it cost $30.00/night, split equally $10.00/each. The manager realizes they were overcharged $5.00, so she sends the bellboy with $5.00 and tells him to split it between the 3 men, the bellboy decides that it would be difficult to split 3 ways and puts $2.00 in his pocket, and gives each person a dollar, so between the 3 men they have now each spent $9.00, which altogether comes to $27.00... if you add that to the $2.00 the bellboy has that equals $29.00, where is the other dollar?
