Three ladies go to a hotel.
The hotel manager says a room will be $30, so each of the ladies hands over $10.
Ten minutes later the hotel manager realises the room rate was only $25, so he asks the bus boy to take $5 to the ladies hotel room.
One the way the bus boy decides that he will take $2 out of the five dollars for his efforts and gives each of the ladies $1 each.
Effectively, each lady has paid $9 for the room and the Bus Boy has pocketed $2:
3 x 9 = $27
27+ 2 = $29
Where is the other dollar ?
