Where's the £10 gone?

Galvatron

Spock and Galvatron < one and the same
Three men went to a hotel to share a room for a week.

The clerk asked for £300.

Each man paid £100, making up the £300.

The hotel keeper then decided to allow a discount for the Week, charging only £250 for the room.

He told the clerk to return £50 to the three men.

The clerk pocketed £20 for himself. He gave the remaining £30 back to the three men.

Each man took back £10. Therefore, each man paid 100 - 10 =£90 to the hotel.

£90 x 3 = £270 + the clerk's £20 = £290.

Question: Where has the remaining £10 gone?
