There is no missing dollar. The error lies in the math at the end.
It should be (9x3) - 2 = 25.
They each paid nine dollars. The bellboy got two and the hotel got 25.
Or if you want to look at it another way, what happened to the original $30?
25 went to the hotel, 2 to the bellboy, and 1 to each of the three guests. That makes 30.
Here's a riddle for you. A father and his son are riding their bikes. Son says, "Dad... 1 and three is three , right?"
"Yes, son."
"But three and one are thirteen, right?"
"Yes."
"So what's two and two?"
Your answer?
