their is 3 guys that needed to rent a hotel room. the hotel was $30. the bell boy took them up to their room and found out that their was a discount,the room was only $25 so they were going to get $5 back. well the bell boy got $2 as a tip and each one got back a dollar so 2 +3=5. but when i do the math each one payed $9 ..9x3= 27 so 27+2=29 (2 for tip) what happened to the other dollar

It got used for butt condoms.
That's the only logical explanation for money missing in a room that three GUYS share together.

lol.

but i try and try and it still dont add up to the original 30

P.S. One guy should have only paid 8 bucks, or everyone should have paid $8.334 cents.
You overpaid the hotel by a buck or whoever did the actual transaction pocketed the buck.

8.334 is only 25 . they got one dollar back each so they should have had 9 each plus the 2 for tip .. divide 2 by 3 and it is 66 cents so each one paid 8.994 and it does not equal 30

Of course not. Either you're not being clear, or you missing the logic.
2 dollars and 25 dollars does not divide cleanly by three. Either one of the guys got an extra dollar or tow over paid. Nothing worth worrying about though.

Yes it does. 27/3=9

It is only supposed to equal $27. Their net cost was $27, because the hotel room cost $25 and they, not knowingly, tipped the bellman $2. ($25 + $2 = $27) The extra $3 was returned to them.

9 times 3 = 27 plus 2 for tip 29 ..it does not complete the 30 from the begining
