If you do figure it out or already know the answer just say you know it. Please do not post the answer until tomorrow so a few others can have a chance to figure it out.Thanks.
3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL.
THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30,
SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.
A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED
THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE
SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS'
ROOM WITH $5.
ON THE WAY, THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT
HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN,
SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND
KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF.
THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM,
WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $ 27,
ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.
WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?

It's simple and just a play on order.
There is no missing dollar.
$25 stayed at the desk
$3 went back to the men
$2 went to the bellboy.
That's still $30 no matter how you slice it.

they added instead of subtracting the final 2 dollars. It was just a trick!

damn it i still dont get it
The men each paid US$9 for the room or US$27 total. The hotel got US$25 and the bellboy got US$2. 25 + 2 = 27. It's a trick question and the 30 is not the goal. Or you can say each man initially paid US$10 and had US$1 returned to them. 30 - 3 = 27 = 25 + 2.

I have two answers going through my head. The first would be the bellboy recieved a $1 tip. The other is more mathematical, so I'll wait for the true answer.

The statement "THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM" is a false statement. 25 divided by 3 is not 9 it is 8.34 This is where the confusion is.

He's just telling you $27, he says $3.00 was returned, that equals 28, not 27. You have to listen closely!!
