Three men decide to split the cost of a hotel room.
The hotel manager gave them the price of $30.00.
The men split the bill evenly, each paying $10.00, and went to their room.
However, the hotel manager suddenly realized that it was a Wednesday which meant that the hotel had a special: All rooms only $25.00.
Realizing that he had overcharged the men $5.00, the manager calls the bellboy, gives him five $1.00 bills and sends him up to the men's room.
After the bellboy explains the situation, the three men are extremely pleased at the hotel's honesty. So they allowed the bellboy to keep two of the $1.00 bills as a tip and split the rest between themselves.
So therefore, each man paid $9.00 (their original $10.00 minus the $1.00 return), totalling $27.00 plus $2.00 as a tip for the bellboy, for a grand total of $29.00
Where did the extra dollar go?
