    Help Me Solve a Riddle
    You saw a shirt for 97$.

    You don't have the cash. So you borrowed 50$ from your mom and 50$ from your Dad.

    50 + 50= 100

    you bought the shirt, and had 3$ change.
    You give your mom a 1$ and your dad 1$ and keep the other dollar for yourself.
    You owe your mom 49$ and your dad 49$.

    49 + 49= 98+ your 1$= $99
    Where is the missing $1?

    Why are you counting owed money with money you have? Those two are totally different.
