Question 452177: 3 girls go to the mall,1 girl doesn't have money,she wanted to buy a dress so she decide to borrow 50 pesos each of their two friends so 100 pesos in all,the dress worth is 97 pesos the change is 3 pesos only,she give 1 peso each of their two friends the exist 1 peso only,the 50 pesos she borrowed it makes 49 pesos each of the two friends,she add 49 pesos by 2=98 pesos but it have 1 pesos exist so she add 98 pesos + 1 pesos=99 pesos,the question is where is 1 pesos to complete the 100 pesos she borrowed in all?what is the best formula this situation?
She borrowed 50 pesos from each friend and then gave back 1 peso to each of them for a total of 2 pesos that she has returned. She now owes each of them 49 pesos each. 2 times 49 is 98 plus the 2 pesos she has already returned equals the 100 pesos she borrowed.
Note that the 98 pesos of her debt matches the 97 peso value of the dress plus the 1 peso she retained from the change.
Finally 100 pesos borrowed = 98 pesos still owed + 2 pesos returned = 97 peso dress + 1 peso she kept + 2 pesos returned.
