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

:D

you give them both 49$ back and you already have them 2x1$

2x49=98
2x1=2
98+2=100

this is a very easy q btw

P.S. 100$ isnt even near to to the highest prices, the shirt I have on right now costed 307€
