  • The question is misleading.

    They pay $30 up front, the bellboy takes $2 and gives them $3 back. So, if the bellboy has $2 of the origional $30 and they have the rest, they actually have $28, not $27. There is no missing dollar, just a question designed to mislead you.

    The answer is that when you come to the point of $27 you don't notice that the $2 that bill boy took is already in the $27. it mean that all the money they spend is $25 for room and $2 for bill boy, and they all have $1 each in their pockets.

    • nice one

      The thing is they all received 1 dollar back so they all payed 9$. The problem is in your calculation because you add , instead of substracting. The solution is : -2$ from the bellboy will result in the 25$ tax for the room so there is no dollar missing.
