FUCK
The Missing Dollar!
You might be able to figure this out if you read carefully.
Three men went to a motel. The motel manager said a room cost $30, so each man put up $10 and went to their room. A little while later the manager realized the room was only $25, so he sent the bellhop back to the three guys' room with $5. On the way to the room the bellhop couldn't figure out how to split the $5 between the 3 men, so he gave each one of them $1 and he kept the other $2.
This meant that the 3 men paid $9 each for the room for a total of $27. Add the $2 that the bellhop kept = $29.
Where did the other dollar go?

In other words, they paid $30 the first time, were supposed to get $5 in change, but only got $3. So the bell guy kept $2.
$25 + 5 = 30
$25 + 3 + 2 = 30
