Brain Teaser # 1

Three people check into a hotel. They pay Rs 3000 to the manager and go to their room. The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is Rs 2500 and gives Rs 500 to the bellboy to return to the people. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that Rs 500 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets Rs 200 and gives Rs 100 to each person. Now each person paid Rs 1000 and got back Rs 100. So they paid Rs 900 each, totalling Rs 2700. The bellboy has Rs 200, totalling Rs 2900. Where is the missing Rs 100?
