Find the missing dollar

Answer 1

There isn't a missing dollar. Why do we have to find it?

Start
You 0 Mom 50 Dad 50 Store 0 -- Total 100
Loans
You 100 Mom 0 Dad 0 Store 0 -- Total 100
Buy Shirt
You 3 Mom 0 Dad 0 Store 97 - Total 100
Refund Mom and Dad
You 1 Mom 1 Dad 1 Store 97 -- Total 100

From another point of view, what you owe.

Start
You 0 Mom 0 Dad 0 -- Total 0
Loans
You -100 Mom +50 Dad +50 -- Total 0
Buy Shirt
You -100 Mom +50 Dad +50 -- Total 0
Refund
You -98 Mom +49 Dad +49 -- Total 0

The 49's have absolutely NOTHING to do with the 97 you paid to the store. You owe the 98 without any consideration of whether you actually bought anything.
