Let's say that it's not three guys, but one guy with a multiple personality disorder like Redler, Weaver and Weaver.
When everything's said and done, the guest paid a total of $27.00 for the room. The hotel has $25.00 and the bellboy has $2.00.
There was a difference of two dollars between what the room cost and what the guest payed. That difference ended up in the bellboys pocket.
So the the person asking the question gave the impression that one needed to add $27.00 + $2.00 to arrive at $30.00 when actually it only balances when you subtract:
$30.00 - $3.00 - $2.00 = $25.00
...very clever.

IS $30, SO
EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.
A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS
ONLY $25,
SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5. ON
THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW
TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY
BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF.
THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL
OF$27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.
WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?
