He gives the bell boy the five dollars to give back to the men he overcharged. This bell boy is not smart enough to divide the $5 between 3 people. (He'll never be promoted to bell man). Anyway, he give each of the men $1 each and keeps $2 for himself.

The trick is that you're comparing apples to oranges.
$25 + $2 the bell boy kept is $27.
Now add the $3 given back to the men and you get $30.
