A shirt costs $97. You borrow $50 from your mom and $50 from your dad giving you $100. You buy the shirt and get $3 change. You give $1 back to your mom and $1 back to your dad and keep $1. You give $1 back to your mom and $1 back to your dad and keep $1. You now owe $49 to mom and $49 to dad. 49 + 49 = 98 + $1 you kept = 99. Where is the missing dollar?
There is no missing dollar.
The mistake is in the math: you shouldn't add the $1 you kept to the $98 you owe.
The $98 already includes:
"$97 for the shirt"
"$1 that you kept"
So everything is already accounted for.
