The missing dollar
You work at a hotel and 3 men show up for a room. "How much does a room cost", they ask. "Thirty dollars" you reply, and each of the three men hand you a 10-dollar bill. After a while you realize that there is a sale today and that you should have only charged 25$. When you explain this to them, they say to just give them back one dollar each. As you leave, you realize that the three men paid 27$ for the room, which is 9 * 3, and in your pocket you have a 2 dollar tip. When you add it up it shows that they paid 27 dollars for the room plus a 2 dollar tip which equals 29 dollars. But didn't you start with 30 dollars? Where is the missing dollar?
