Where's the dollar?

[T. Sites]

Three men were going hunting when their truck broke down.They walked to the closest town and it was getting late.They decided to rent a room.They asked the hotel manager how much for a room?He says a 2 bed room is 25 dollars but you 3 can share one room for 30 dollars.They pay ten dollars each and go to their room.The manager starts feeling bad because he knows they are in a tough spot.He tells the bell hop to take them 5 dollars up to their room.The bell hop says to himself"How am I going to divide 5 dollars evenly between 3 people?"He said to himself"I'll give each a dollar and keep myself a 2 dollar tip."After each man got back a dollar, that made $9 they each paid for a share of the room for a total of $27 the bell hop kept $2 for a total of$29.Wheres the other dollar?

Clerk has------- $25.00
Bellhop has----- $2.00
Hunters have ---$3.00

$25+$2 =$27.00 Cost of the room.

Cool problem. The wording makes you think backwards.
