Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go  to their room. The manager finds out that the room rate is $25 and  gives $5 to the bellboy to return. On the way to the room the bellboy  reasons that $5 would be difficult to share among three people so  he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. 

Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each,  totaling $27. The bellboy has $2, totaling $29. 

Where is the remaining dollar?

THE SOLUTION

Each person paid $9, totalling $27. The manager has $25 and the bellboy $2.  The bellboy's $2 should be added to the manager's $25 or subtracted from  the tenants' $27, not added to the tenants' $27.
