riddle with no answer?

three guys are on a business trip and want to stay overnight at a hotel.. they walk in and ask the hotel manager how much it would cost for a one night stay..
the hotel manager says "$10 per person.."
which is $30 for all three people..
so they say ok.. pay the hotel manager the $30 and head up to their rooms..
a few minutes later.. the hotel manager says, "shit.. it's supposed to be $25 for all three of those guys"
so he gives the bell boy $5 to give to the three guys as their change..
on the way up the bell boy goes, "crap how the heck am i going to split $5 between three guys..."
he thinks for a bit and goes "oh well.. i'll pocket $2 and give them $3" which is $1 per person..
now the question is..
how much did each person pay for their night's stay at the hotel?

30-5=25
25+3=28
