You saw a shirt for $97. You didn’t have the cash, so you borrowed $50 from your mom and $50 from your dad = $100. You bought the shirt, and had $3 change. You gave your dad $1 and your mom $1 and kept the other $1 for yourself. Now you owe your mom $49 and your dad $49. 49+49 = 98 + your $1 = 99. Where is the missing $1?

I googled this the last time it was posted and I read it a bunch of times and I still suck at math.

if you owe someone 98 and you have one dollar how much MORE do you need to pay them back? Nothin is missing, I never understood how people find it confusing.
50 -1 = 49 to mom
50 -1 = 49 to dad
Total owed = 98
Pocket = 1
You need $97 MORE to pay off the debt.
