A bit later, the manager realizes that the room he rented the group was actually $25 and not $30, so he sends the bellboy to the room with $5 as a refund.
On the way to the room, the bellboy can't figure out how to evenly split the $5 amongst the three men, so he decides to give each man $1 and keep the other $2 for himself.
This means that each man paid $9 for the room, which is a total of $27. The bellboy kept $2.
$27 + $2 = $29.
