    Where's the missing dollar? - problem

    You saw a shirt for $97. You have 0$. So you borrow $50 from your mom, and $50 from your dad. 50+50=100. You buy the shit and have $3 change. You give yor mom $1 and your dad $1 and keep $1 for yourself. You now owe your mom $49 and your dad $49. 49+49=98 plus your $1 = 99. Where's the missing dollar?

          The is no extra dollar. You added the wrong numbers together to get $98 because there are really 2 extra dollars. $97 for the shirt + the $1 you kept = $98 The 2 extra dollars went back to your parents

                If you had three loonies instead of just one loonie and one $2 bill, it wouldnt have been an issue. Canadian math is funny.

                  And the missing dollar is in your pocket. If you borrow $50 from each parent, give them $50 back.

                      The dollar you have kept for yourself should not have been added to the money you owe, it should have been subtracted instead.
                      98-1=97
                      97 is the worth of the shirt.
                      the 3 dollars, let's say, if given to ur mom or dad, and you didn't keep anything for you, then you owe them, 48 and 49.
                      There's no missing dollar.

                        It's in his pocket, like you said he did the math wrong. And his mom & dad are the ones paying for it.

                                why are you paying back one parent more then the other? Who do you love more, your Mom or your Dad?

                                  This is a cool spin on a classic problem about attentiveness and perspective. Lots of professors open class with this oldie but goodie. Thanks for reminding me!

                                    Simple, the $98 is the some of $100 less the $2 you already paid back and not the total paid for anything

                                      It's interesting how many ways people break this down. I always go for the easy way.

                                      $97 spent
                                      $1 in my pocket
                                      $2 paid back
                                      Equals $100.

                                                      you know, it's kinda hard to make fun of me on a multi millon dollar bankruptcy years ago that i'm clear of now when you post threads crying about losing $183 to a legitimate charge-back......

                                                        takes most people with an IQ over 95 about 2-3 mins to figure it out...

                                                        now I know you're gona say you weren't on GFY and just saw it, but seriously, come on. We all know that just isn't true.
                                                        I just got on but you shouldn't post shit that requires any form of thinking after 8 p.m. If you have this 95 IQ or better then add another "n" in gona

                                                          It takes my head a few seconds to figure out problems like this, really. I didn't see anything worth commenting about until several people posted their (correct) answers but used a different process than I did. My way just seems easier overall.

                                                          Spent $97
                                                          Gave back $2 - (Owe $98)
                                                          Have $1

                                                          Equals the $100 borrowed.

                                                          Anyhow, I am just fucking with you with comments like that. We went back and forth a lot over the years and you really pissed me off about one specific thing long ago but none of it is really important. Have a good day.

You buy the shit and have $3 change. You give yor mom $1 and your dad $1 and keep $1 for yourself. You now owe your mom $49 and your dad $49. 49+49=98 plus your $1 = 99. Where's the missing dollar?
