3 girls go to a motel. The front desk clerk tells them the room will cost $30 for the night. Each girl gives $10 to make out the 30.
Later that night, the clerk realized that the room was actually $25, not 30. So, he calls one of his co-worker and give him $5 to return to the girls.
On his way, the co-worker ask himself:" How am I going to share $5 to 3 girls?" So, he decides to give each $1 and keep the extra $2 for himself.
So, each girl actually paid $9 for the room ($10-$1). So, the total should be $9+$9+$9 = $27. If we add the $2 that the co-worker kept, we get $29.
The question is: "WHERE IS THE MISSING DOLLAR??"

hmmmmm okay so they paid $10 each for the room making it $30, however since the room is $25 and they recieved $1 refund, it doesnt necessarily mean that they paid $9 each because $25 by 3 will give you some fractions, those fractions make up the missing dollargawwddd i hate math

not bad iice, but if you pay $10 and you get back $1 that means you paid out $9. So you saying the missing dollar is in fractions that have dissappeared into thin air?

There's no missing dollar. They paid 25 dollars plus the 3 they divided plus the 2 taken by the co-worker = 30 dollars.

Its simple, They were given $1 each, which means they paid $9*3=$27, instead of $25. The co-worker is now to give them $2 which ie the extra on their payment. there is no missing $1 or N1 anywhere.
Now lets assume they were told it is $25 initially, they would have paid $8 each which would have landed at $24 and we can assume the missing dollar is what makes it $25, because if they were told that its no more $30 but now $24, each would have received his own share equally without the co-worker sneaking some into his pocket. so we could also say that the missing dollar was what made it $25 instead of $24.catching my breath

They paid thirty dollars. Five was refunded. That leaves 25 with the manager. Meaning each girl paid 25/3 = 8.3333333. 1 dollar was refunded to each. That makes 9.33333 that each paid. 9.33333333 * 3 = 27.999999 ~ 28. And the Oh So considerate and thotful thief of a waiter/porter/whatever has the remaining 2 dollars. 28+2=30 Q.E.D
