The trick is that they really paid $25 for the room plus the $2 for the bellhop- that's $27, or 3@ $9 each. After the $5 refund, the $30 is not the # you're looking for. But if you have to see $30, figure $25 for the room plus $1 each they got back plus $2 they "paid" the bellhop.You don't add the $2 to the $27, it's already in there. |

3 dollars to the men, 2 to the bell hop and 25 to the inn = 30. If you are starting from the original 30 dolloars paid. If they would have paid 9 each and tipped the beell boy 2 bucks the remainingdollar would have never come into play. |

The 3 men paid $9 each for $27. This is correct. You don't add the $2 to the bellhop, because the $9 per person is included in that. In actuality, you subtract the bellhop's $2 from the $27 and you get the total the hotel gets, $25. |

not any $ missing , the formula is like this:
25 for the motel + 3 to the men +2 for the boy=30 |

If the room is only $25.00 and the bellhop then they actuially paid $8.3333333 each. BUT if you add $3.00 to the $25.00 this is $28.00. Now add the $2.00 that the bellhop kept and you have $30.00. This is where your missing dollar is anyway. |

there was no extra dollar, 30 - 3 (returned to the men) = 27 - 2(to the bell hop)= 25 the total cost of the room. |

The question is worded in a misleading way. They paid $25 for the room plus $2 for the bellhop plus the $1 for each of the 3 men. 25+2+3=30 |

The bellman has it because they still over paid for the room two men should have paid 8.33 and one paid 8.34 and the room would have been 25 dollar they have paid. but they paid 10 and they bellman gave just one dollar so each man paid for they room 9 dollars makes it being a total of 27 which is over paying cause the room is 25. So that makes the bellman having the other dollar. |

This is a classic case of leading the audience.
In reality, each man paid $8.33 ($25 divided by 3).
Of course, the bellhop didn't want to make change so he only gave each man $1 back, pocketing the other 67 cents he owed each of them.
67 cents multiplied by 3 will reveal the missing $2.
Good riddle. |
