Question

You saw a shirt for $97. You didn’t have the cash, so you borrowed $50 from your mum and $50 from your dad = $100. You bought the shirt, and had $3 change. You gave your dad $1 and your mum $1 and kept the other $1 for yourself. Now you owe your mum $49 and your dad $49. 49+49 = 98 + your $1 = 99. Where is the missing $1?

Answer 1

Ya, typical one dear...
I think the problem would have come when one took a 50 from Mummy and 50 from Daddy, but instead the cost of Shirt is 97, so we should divide 50 + 50 not in proper amount...
