Question 624692: You saw a shirt for Gh�97. You didn�t have cash, so you borrowed Gh�50 from your mum and Gh�50 from your Dad= Gh�100. You bought the shirt and had Gh�3 change. You gave your Dad Gh�1 and your mum Gh�1 and kept the other Gh�1. Now you owe your mum Gh�49 and your Dad Gh�49. (49+49= Gh�98) + your Gh�1 = Gh�99. Where is the missing Gh�1????

There is no missing money. You are trying to add apples to oranges, so you are getting fruit salad instead of a correct answer to a math problem.

97 cost of shirt plus 3 cents change is 100.

49 you owe Mom plus 49 you owe Dad plus cent you gave Mom plus cent you gave Dad is 100

97 cost plus cent you have in your pocket is 98 which is the same amount you owe your parents.

What possessed you to add the cent in your pocket to what you owe Mom and Dad? The two amounts have nothing to do with one another.
