Problema Solution
you want a shirt for $97, you dont have the cash so you borrow the money from your mom and dad. $50 from mom and $50 from dad.
$50+$50=100
you have $3 dollers in change. you give $1 to mom and $1 to dad. you kept the third $1 for your self. you now owe mom $49 and dad $49.
$49+$49=98+ your $1= $99
WHERES THE MISSING $1
Answer provided by our tutors
There is no missing $1.
"$49+$49=98 + your $1 = $99" is wrong
You OWE your parents $100.00, you paid them $1 each, now you owe $98.
If you had paid the $1 you kept for yourself, you would only owe $97 so it should be
$49+$49=98 - your $1 = $97 (not "+ your $1")
