Three people check into a $30 room. Clerk later returns $5; bellboy keeps $2 and gives $1 each back. They paid $27; plus $2 kept = $29. Where’s the missing dollar?
Answer
Misframed sum: $27 = $25 room + $2 kept
Explanation
The $27 already includes the $2 kept: $27 = $25 (room) + $2 (bellboy). No missing dollar.
