Three men rent a room. The the room cost $30 so they split it 3 ways making each share $10. The clerk realizes he over charged the by $5. A bell boy is taking the money back an trying to figure out how toplit $5 3 ways. He decides to keep $ and give them a $1 each. So each man pays $9. $9x3=$27 + $2 the bell boy has = $29. Were did the other dollar go?

My friend asked me this question an I can not figure it out. No it isnt taxes. Can someone tell me te answer so I dont have to keep trying to get it out of him?
The bell by only took $2.
