The one about 3 men in a hotel

3 men go into a hotel to check in for a conference and get a room to freshen up in. The man behind the desk said the room 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 leftover. 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?
