Who can answer this?

Three men walk in to a hotel, the pay $30 dollars to get a room. The manageer find that the room is only $25 and gives five dollars back to the bellboy. The bellboy figures you cant split $5 in to 3 people so the bell boy takes $2 dollars and gives the three men each a dollar.Now each person paid $10 and got $1 back. That totals $27. The bellboy has $2 totaling $29 where is the other dollar?

OMG! It's a trick question. So the three men had to $30 for the room that's actually $25. They were suppose to get the $5 change back, however the bellboy "stole" $2 and the men were given back $3 or $1 each. And you think that the men actually paid $9 each for a total of $27 for the room, but the room is actually still $25 because the bellboy has stolen $2. And 25+2=27 And the remaining $3 had already been returned back to the men. So 25+2+3=30, so there wasn't a missing dollar in the first place
