Three guests check into a hotel. The Cashier says the bill is $30 so each pays $10.

Later the cashier realizes the bill should only be $25.

To rectify he gives the bellhop five singles to return to the guests.

On the way back to the room the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money evenly.

As they didn’t know the total of the revised bill, he decides to give each guest a dollar and keep two for himself.

Now that the guests have been given a dollar back, each has paid $9. 3 x 9 = 27 and the bellhop has $2. 2 + 27 = 29.

If the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining dollar?
