You see a shirt in a shop for £97. You don't hav enough to pay for it so you borrow £100 off your mam and dad. You buy th shirt and hav £3 change, you give £1 to your mam, £1 to your dad and keep £1 to your self. You owe your mam £49 and your dad £49. £49 plus £49 is £98 plus the pound you kept is £99, wat happened to the other pound?

Easy you owed your parents £48.50 for the shirt + £1. £49.50.

Two times £49.50 = £99

You keep the last pound.

Seems reasonable but still doesn't explain it proply t me...

There is no other pound. You have given £1 to each of your parents and still owe £49 to each. That's £100 total.

Not my answer

At the bottom where it say's "$49+$49=98 + your $1 = $99" is wrong.
You OWE your parents $100.00, you paid them $1 each, now you owe $98. If you had paid the $1 you kept for yourself, you would only owe $97.
So, You owe your parents $98, plus the $2 you already paid = $100.00.
The price of the shirt is irrelevant, and really so is the change. It's all about what you owe!

If you borrowed 100, you owe them 50 apiece, not 49 apiece.

you borrowed 100. you pay them each 1. now you owe each 49. 49+49+1+1=100
97 for shirt plus gave them each 1 & 1 for you.
97+1+1+1=100

Throw it in the trash or be charitable

You owe your parents for the price of the shirt = 97
48.50 each (2x 48.50 = 97)
You give them 1 back, making 49.50 you have so far payed back (2x 49.50 = 99)
Plus your 1 = 100.
Voila!
