3 salesman go to hotel , the clerk charges them $10 a piece. Thats $30 total. He realizes he over charge them by $5. He summons the bell hop to take the $5 and distribute it evenly to the 3 salesman. The Bell hop decides hes not going to give it all back because he doesnt have any change, so he gives eash of the sales man back $1 each and he keeps $2. So if the salesman each get a dollar back that means they only paid $9 which equals $27, if the the bell hop kept $2 thats a total of $29 . Where the heck is the other dollar???
