Help me solve this puzzle:

3 men bought a bottle of wine for 30 dollars. They paid 10 dollars each. When they left, the shopkeeper realized that the bottle only costed 25 dollars. So he sent a dude with the remaining 5 dollars. He kept 2 dollars and have 1 dollar to each of the men.

So now they paid 9 dollars each and the dude have 2 dollars that adds up to 29. Where's the remaining dollar?!!?

There is no money missing lol there was 30 when the shopkeeper sent $5 out to them, the guy with the 5 kept 2 and 1 dollar went to each of the 3 men. That means 3 plus 2 = 5 plus the 25 that is still in the store. You added the three 9's and then the 2, which was an incorrect way to solve it. Hopefully it makes sense now.
