See if you can figure this one out...
Three salesmen go to a hotel. The room rate is $30, and they each pay $10. Later that night the desk clerk realizes that the room is only $25 so he gives $5 to the bellboy to split among the 3 guys. The bellboy did not know how to split the $5 among the 3 men so he kept $2 for himself and gave $1 each to each man.
So… with the refund, each salesman paid $9 for a total of $27, the bellboy kept $2. This adds up to $29. Where is the missing dollar?
