A friend , Hit me with this puzzle; But didn't give me the answer!

You saw a shirt for 97$, You don't have the cash so you borrowed 50$ from your Mom and 50$ from
your Dad =100$., You buy the shirt and have 3$ change, You give your Dad 1$, and you give your Mom
1$, And keep the other 1$ for yourself., Now you owe your Mom 49$ and your Dad 49$ = 98$ + your 1$
= 99$ Where is the missing 1$, ???

Your not missing a dollar.....If you gave mom/dad a dollar each= $2 dollars total, then gave each $49=$98. 98+2=100

the shirt is $97, minus the $1 you made= $96 for the shirt. Add $1 for mom and dad= $98 for the shirt

Mix in facts and provide information that have nothing to do with the question being asked and then base your answer on that mis-information. Your friend is either a reporter or a politician. If he is the second one, I'd check his pocket for the missing dollar.

1. You borrowed $100 - You spent 97 on the shirt + 2 on your mom and dad + 1 you still have = 100
2. You Borrowed $100 - You paid 2 back so now you borrowed 98. You spend 97 on the shirt and have one in your pocket = $98

Simple...I think??

By keeping the extra $1, in essence, you paid $98 for the shirt. Moral: Find a cheaper place to shop.

I run into the same issues with my accounting tests. Math seems to be everyone's enemy these days. If they forget to bring their calculator or phone to help them compute the answers, they are pretty much in trouble.

You must work for the government. You borrowed $100, paid back $2 and kept the rest that you SUPPOSEDLY spent on a shirt that no one has seen. Just lie the money the government spent on the FAKE moon landings!:lecturef_smilie:

You started out with no money and no shirt. Now you have a $97 shirt and you owe your Mom $49 and your Dad $49 = $98 debt. Subtract the $1 you have (asset). That leaves $97, the value of the shirt.
