How long did it take you to get this one?
3 buddies go out for a drink. Damage is $25. Each of them gives $10 to cover the bill. Waiter comes back with 5$ all singles. Each buddy takes $1 which means each of them gave $9, so 3x$9+=$27, add $2 left on the table comes out to $29.

Thanks for a fun little brain-teaser break, Almir!
Total Charge= $25. Total collected = $30. Total returned = $5...
$1 to each of the the three drunkards. $2 left on the table for the overworked waitress. 3 + 2 = $5.00
The "missing dollar" is in the storytelling, not in the math.
