Question 644076: I borrow 100 dollars from a friend to go shopping and lost them. Again I borrowed 50 dollars from another friend. So in all I borrowed 150. From the 50 dollars I bought two candy bars for 20 dollars. I gave 30 dollars to the first person I borrowed from, now I own him 70. I own the second person 50. When you add 70, 50 and 20 together you get 140! WHERE DID THE OTHER 10 DOLLARS GO?

I borrow 100 dollars from a friend to go shopping and lost them.
Again I borrowed 50 dollars from another friend.
So in all I borrowed 150.
From the 50 dollars I bought two candy bars for 20 dollars.
I gave 30 dollars to the first person I borrowed from, now I own him 70.
I own the second person 50. When you add 70, 50 and 20 together you get 140! WHERE DID THE OTHER 10 DOLLARS GO?
:
You still owe $120 and should have that in your pocket, but you spent $20
so you still have $100 in your pocket, 100 + 20 + 30 = 150, adding those
other numbers together is meaningless.
