The Mysterious Dollar |

There are 3 men who decided to stay over at a hotel for a night. They agreed to split the cost of the room equally. They walked into the hotel and asked the clerk how much a room cost for a night. The clerk replied that it would cost $30 altogether. So after paying, they took their luggage and went up to their room. However, the clerk realized that he had overcharged them. The room originally costs $25. He instructed the bell boy to take $5 up to the men’s room, but on his way up, the bell boy found it impossible to divide $5 among 3 men. Thus, the bell boy took $2 and went to the men’s room. He knocked on the door and when one of the men answered, he explained the incident to the men and returned them $1 each. But look, $9 x 3 = $27, +$2 which the bell boy took =$29. Where did the extra dollar go?
