Question 1031242: Can any of u help me to solve this problem
I borrowed $1000 from a frend, but I lost it the next min. So I borrowed $500 frm another frend. From tht $500, I bought $300 sweets. With the balance $200 I paid back each $100 to the frends I borrowed frm. So I owe $900 +$400 = $1300. Well with $1300 add the sweet amt of $300 will be $1600. I only borrowed $1500 frm my both frends. Then where did the $100 came frm.

You owe $1300, what you spent is of no consequence.
