I am giving you a riddle to solve

3 friends went to a hotel to stay. 30 rupees was its rent. A waiter followed them to show them the room. They gave 30 rupees to the waiter, each man gave 10 rs. But manager took only 25 rupees and asked the waiter to return 5 rs. 3 men take 1 rupee each and gave 2 rupees as tip to the waiter.
But later, when they calculated, they found some mistake.
So,the question is ,each of three men spend overall 9*3=27rupess. ie. For the 10 rupees given, they got 1 rupee back.Two rupees in supplier's pocket.That makes 27+2=29.WHERE DID THE ONE RUPEE GO?

Can you find it?

The three friends gave:

Rs 25/ towards rent (30-5)
Rs.2/- towards tip
Total expenses Rs. 27/
They got Rs. 1 each i.e. Rs. 3/-
Exp 27/- + Discount 3/- makes thirty. Thus there is no discrepancy.

Here the catch is that the rs. two given as tip is already deducted when arriving at Rs. 9/- cost. So, this should not be again deducted.
