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?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
