you saw a shirt for $97. You didnt have enough money, so you borrowed $50 from your mom and $50 from your dad.
You bought the shirt, and had $3 change. You gave your dad $1 and your mom 1$ and kept the other dollar for yourself. Now you owe your mom $49 and your dad $49. $49+$49=$98 + Your $1+ $99.
Where is the missing $1?

this is a trick question. You owe $98. you can't add $1 to what you owe. you're supposed to subtract the dollar which will give you $97. i solved my own question haha
