Three people go to a hotel. They pay 10 dolllars each for a room costing 30 dollars. Upon leaving the manger decides to refund them 5 dollars. The bell hop takes the 5 dollars to be refunded and keeps two as a tip. Then gives each person back 1 dollar. Total cost for room per person was 9 dollars each. 9*3=27+2 dollars for the tip=29. Where did the 1 dollar go?
