Real Challenge!!! Praises for the one who gives an Explanation

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Three friends at a restaurant received a bill of 30$. They gave 30$ (10$ each) to the waiter. The waiter took it to the manager where manager said that he will give 5$ discount and said the waiter to return 5$ to them. Waiter got confused that how will he divide it into three equal parts. So he kept 2$ and returned 1$ to each. Now the friends paid 9$ each (9X3=27) and 2$ is with the waiter This makes a total of 29$. Where is the missing 1$
