Take a look at this riddle and tell us if you can figure it out, because we sure can’t!
Mhmmm, does your face look a little like this right now?
I saw a shirt for $97.
I borrowed $50 from mom and $50 from dad.
I bought the shirt and got $3 change.
I returned $1 to mom, and $1 to dad, and kept $1 for myself.
Now I have to return $49 to mom and $49 to dad.
$49 + $49 = $98 + my $1 = $99
Where did the other $1 go?

Because we were looking at debt rather than total – but the total never changes?
Here’s a break down:
Actually there is no mystery at all but a calculation mistake.
Cost of the shirt is $97, so he has to return $49 to his mom and another $49 to his dad both equals to $98, which is a $1 more than the price of that shirt.
That $1 he himself is holding.
Can you prove that the below addition sum is correct?
