Where is the missing dollar? 🤔

[Silly_Na]

Taken from somewhere off the internet

If I borrow $50 from my mom and $50 from my dad, I'll have $100. If I buy a shirt that cost $97, I'll have $3 left. I'll give my mom $1 and my dad $1 and I'll keep $1 for myself. I'll owe each of them $49. If $49 + $49 + $1 = $99, where did the missing dollar go?

no, theres somet wrong with your maths, 49 +49 is what you owe them, plus your dollar, and one of theirs, so it equals 100, you dont keep one

The amount you spent to buy a shirt, split it in half 48.50 that's how much you owe each parent, after you split the change. 97+3=100

@Silly_Na
Ms. Selena, we always add principal to simple interest while calculating repay amount. Instead of adding it up you subtracted it.

Repay amount = P+(PRT/100) [Where P = principal, R= rate of interest, T = Time)
According to your question, you have assumed this formula
Repay amount = P-(PRT/100)

It is a mathematical fallacy that is not only irrational but also covers some craftiness. Therefore, it leads to wrong result.

Your dad and mom gave you 50-50$. You have 100$ now
You bought a t-shirt for 97$.
You have only 3$ now (100-97 = 3)
You gave them 1-1$.
You have only 1$ now (97+1+1 = 99 and 100-99 = 1)

I'll keep $1 for myself.

This is the $1 we're talking about.

97+1+1+1 = 100
Hope this uncovers some craftiness.
