A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by 5.Heasksthebellhoptoreturn5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make 2ashereasonsthatthethreefriendswouldhaveatoughtimedividing5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only 3,givingadollarbacktoeachofthefriends.Hepocketstheleftover2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid 9fortheroomwhichisatotalof27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed 2andaddingthattothe27, you get 29,not30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????
