Missing Dollar---- Riddle

[apple]

Three men were traveling around the country. They stopped by in this one town and asked to spend the night at a hotel. The hotel manager charged them 27 dollars for a room that had three beds in it. So that means that each man payed 9 dollars. After they went to the room, the maneger thought he had charged them too much for the room so he decided that the room would cost 22 dollars. He called the bell boy over and gave him five one dollar bills, telling him to give it to the three men. On his way up to the room, the bell hoy realized that he wouldn't be able to split the money between the three men equally, so he stuffed two of the dollar bills into his own pocket. Now, if you're following me that means that each man payed 8 dollars for the room(becasue they got a dollar back). 8 x 3 is 24. The bell boy has two dollar bills in his own pocket(so you add 2 right!!!). That equals 26. What happened to the other dollar?

8 * 3 = 24 -- total which three men paid

22 + 2 = 24 -- revised room rent + the amount which bell has taken..

3 dollors were already given to the 3 persons (24 + 3 = 27).

We are again adding the 2 (bell boy amount) to 24 which is unnecessary. Hope this clarifies !!! dancegdb
