3 Men Go Into A Motel. The Man Behind The Desk Said The Ro Om 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 Bellb Oy 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?

There isn't another dollar.....the 3 men paid $9 dollars each ($10-$1) which totals $27, less (not add) the $2 that the bellboy kept equals $25, which is the real cost of the room....

The men each received 3 dollars back, the bellboy kept 2, and the cost of the hotel was 25, for a total of 30.

The question is misleading, since each person paid $9 and kept $1. The $2 that the bellboy kept is included in the $9 that each paid.

The real question is why are 3 men together in a $30 motel?
