  I think ar, if they used this method to mention the giving and returning of money, sure the 1 dollar will remain a mystery...
  
  But if the 5 dollars is with the clerk, and 25 dollars in the cash register, he returns 3 dollars and have 2 more dollars with him. Like that, we still can amount to 30 dollars... This is provided if they each pay 10 dollars in the beginning...
  
  But if the three fellas give initially 27 dollars, then there is no need to refund liau coz the man getting the money won't have any left over money to refund...
  
  Aih, I donno what I am talking... hahaha

  3 guys check into a hotel costs $30, meaning each pays $10.
  as it's promotional period, the hotel offers $5 discount.
  the manager den tells his staff to refund the 3 $5.
  the staff feels that it's difficult to divide $5 among the 3, ka po $2.
  thus, the staff returns each $1.
  so, it means that the 3 pays $9($10 - $1) each.
  but, 3 x $9 = $27
  $27 + $2 (from the staff) = $29
  so where's the missing 1 dollar?

  Think of it this way... 3 guys pay $25 for hotel then tip staff $2...
  so in the end they pay $27 right?? 9x3=27 correct anot???
  
  so means $27-$2 not $27+$2
  
  pay $10x3=$30
  return $3 so each pay $9
  then total paid is $27...
  so the $2 is included in the $27 already
  instead of adding to it, the correct way is to minus from it
  so the question ask in a way to catch you off guard

  u cannot minus $1 from the $10. as the total cost is $25, it means that each have to pay $25/3 = $8.33. so when returned the $1, means each pays $9.33. so $9.33 x 3 = $28. $28 + $2 = $30
  haha.. as for why cannot just minus $1 from $10, think again.
