.
Each buys a $10 steak.
.
At the end of the meal, they collect $30 between the three of them to cover the cost of the meal and give it to the waitress.
.
She goes back to the cash register, where the overlooking manager says.
.
"Those dinners are discounted, you need to give them $5 back."
.
So the waitress gets the five dollars, and returns to the table.
.
Not knowing how to split $5 between the three of them, she gives 1 dollar to each of the three patrons, and kept two for herself.
.
Now if you do the maths.
.
Together they paid $30.
.
Received $3 back meaning they only paid $27.
.
The waitress kept $2.
.
This totals $29.
.
Where did the last dollar go?
