The Missing Dollar


Three men had lunch and paid 30$ for the lunch (10$ each). Before they could leave, the waiter told them their lunch was only worth 25$. So, he returned to them the 5$. From the 5$, the waiter took 2$ as tip and returned 1$ to each person. Which means, instead of paying 10$ each for the lunch, they basically paid only 9$. So, 9$ x 3 = 27$. 27$ plus the 2$ taken by the waiter = 29$ only. Where did the 1$ go?
