Riddle for you...?!


Question:

Riddle for you...?

3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK
SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND
WENT TO THE ROOM.

A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED
THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY
TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5.

ON THE WAY, THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT
HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE
GAVE EACH MAN $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR
HIMSELF. THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9
FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE
$2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.

WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?


Answers:

heard it before, but i forgot the a...

i do know that it's not $29 but the whole $30 though....

the men did not pay $27 for a $25 room...so somewhere in there is the answer...but again, I forgot what it was...

;-/

PS: in actuality they only paid $8 and change for their share of the $25 room; but with the math and fractions it works out that the bellboy was an idiot who kept $2; yet the man behind the desk was a cheat who himself kept $1...but i may be wrong...oh, well, good enough for two points, eh?!
