This R5 is given back to the 3 guests by a waiter, and they tip the waiter R2, and split the R3, each pocketing R1. So they each paid R9 (R10-R1). So they paid R9 x 3 which is R27, plus the R2 for waiter equals R29. So where is the missing R1???? Have fun
There is no missing Rand. 30-5 is 25. 25/3 is 8.333. so they paid 9.333 not R9.

They paid R27 in total and not R29.
They give him only one tip and in the end he gets a extra one.
So each guest paid R9 and that includes the tip

The first and last sentence is correct, it's key to remember the tip is included with the R9.
Each guest's spendings:
Hotel minus discount: R10 - (R5 / 3) = R8,33
Waiter: R2 / 3 = R0,67
Total spendings: R9
So each of the three guests spent R9 making the total expenditure R27. Since each received R1 back the total will add up to R30. So there is no missing money, they just had too much to drink and falsely accused the poor black waiter for stealing.
