I believe he made a mistake in his wording. The initial total cost for all three of them to get in was $30.00. When the manager recognized them, he discounted the total cost to $25.00. So, each guy paid $9.00, totalling $27.00. If they had gotten the two bucks from the bouncer, they would have paid the $25.00.
The trick is that, when the manager gives back the 5 bucks, you're now totally 25 dollars, not 30. So there really is no dollar missing at all.
