The lost dollar brain teaser involves three people who collectively pay $30 for a hotel room. Later, the hotel manager realizes the room only costs $25 and gives $5 to the bellboy to return. The bellboy keeps $2 for himself and gives $1 back to each person. The confusion arises when people try to add the $27 they paid ($25 for the room and $2 kept) instead of correctly accounting for the total spent, which is still $30. Thus, there is no missing dollar; the $30 is correctly allocated to the $25 room plus the $2 kept and the $3 returned.
