A B and C are staying together in a rented house. Each are paying 10$ per month. They contributed 10$ each and gave to a boy and ask him to give the money to their landloard. The boy gave the money to the owner and he returned 5$ to the boy. He gave back 3 dollar(one dollar each)to the tenants and he keep the remaining two dollar. So each tenant spent 9$ that mean 9*3 = 27$ + 2$Kept by the boy = 29$. Where the one dollar gone.

The equation is 30-3=(30-5)+(5-3) left on the equation is the tenants pay and right on the equation is the landlord and the boy gain. so there is no dollar gone. haha

money given to the landlord =30$ money given back by the landlord is=5$ money taken by the landlord is =25$ money kept by the boy is =2$ money given back by the boy =3$ therefore the money contributed by each tenant=27/3=9 therefore there is no matter of losing one dollar
