Can you solve this?
Three men go to a conference and the bill for the hotel is $25 dollars. Each man puts in $10 a piece($30 total). The manager gives the bellhop the change of $5. The bellhop tries to spit the change equally and comes up with keeping $2 and giving all three men $1 a piece.
Now.
All three men have paid $9 dollars each for a total of ($27). The bellhop still has $2. Total is $29 dollars.
Where is the extra dollar?
