3 guys walk into a hotel. The clerk tells them that it will be thirty
dollars for the room. they each pay 10 dollars. The clerk then tells 
them that they are having a special and it is only twenty five 
dollars for the room. The clerk gives that bellboy five single dollar 
bills. the bellboy took two. What happened to the extra dollar.

Extra dollar?  What extra dollar?  The hotel clerk has $25, the 
bellboy has $2 and the men got $3 back.  $25 + $2 + $3 = $30.  This 
accounts for the entire $30.  I don't understand what you mean by 
"the extra dollar".  Please repost and explain.
