You borrowed $50 from your dad and $50 from you mum. You bought a shirt for $97, and you have $3 for change. You give a dollar each to your mum and dad, and you're left with $1.
Now you owe your dad $49 and your mum $49. You have $98 to pay back all together.
In essence, your dad has $1 and your mum has $1. You have $49 to give to your dad, and $49 to give to your mum. The right math would actually be: $1 (with your mum) + $1 (with your dad) + $49 (which you owe your dad) + $49 (which you owe your mum) = $100.
You CANNOT include the $1 with you in the math, because the math is (or really should be) about how much you collected from your dad and mum ($100), how much you owe them after collection ($100), how much you gave them back ($2), and how much you have left to give ($98 = $49 for Dad and $49 for Mum).
No $1 is missing, for me to av returned $1 each, then I owe mum and dad $98.... So I am to return $49 each... So the money on me is part of the $49 for me to return
Mathematically: $2 + $49 + $49 = $100.
In essence its also known as $2 that I av returned + $48.50 + $48.50 + the remaining $1 with me makes $100
I'm owing my parents $98 and if I decide to give any of them d $1 kept 4 myself, 2geda I'd be owin dem $97 not $99, which is how much I spent on d shirt.
Best Answer There is no missing dollar. BEFORE: Mom: $50 Dad: $50 You: $0 TGTAL: $100 AFTER: Mom: $1 Dad: $1 Shirt: $97 You: $1 TGTAL: $100 =) What you owe your parents is unrelated to where the actual money is.
Wrong calculation Lindodo!!!The secret is in dividing what you owe between the debtors.When you bought the shirt for $97 it means you actually owe your parents $97 divided by two which equals $48.50 apiece. So if you initially split the $3 with you between them, at $1.50 apiece, each are supposed to receive $48.5 + $1.50 which equals $50 initially borrowed from each. So when you give each of them $1 back, each of them is actually supposed to have $48.50 + $1 which equals to $49.50(not $49 as stated!!!) apiece. $49.50 + $49.50 equals $90 plus the $1 you are holding equals $100. QED. Any prize for this? Please let me know so I can send my account number..Loool!!!
The whole question is filled with errors because for starters you can't give each parent =N=49, this will amount to =N=98 if it is added up. The top is not an 'even number;'97'. So for me its (48.5 + 48.5 + 1 + 1 + 1)!
Best Answer There is no missing dollar. BEFORE: Mom: $50 Dad: $50 You: $0 TGTAL: $100 AFTER: Mom: $1 Dad: $1 Shirt: $97 You: $1 TGTAL: $100 =) What you owe your parents is unrelated to where the actual money is.
You are the one dat made a mistake. You are adding a $1 asset to a $98 liability. The asset and liability are meant to be equal to $98. Initial B.S Asset Goods = $97 Cash = $3 Total Asset = $100 Liability Debt = $100
Balance sheet after payment of $2 would be; Asset Goods = $97 Cash = 3 - 2 = $1 Total asset = $98 Liability Debt = $100 - $2 = $98.
You are not supposed to add the $1 left with you cos $49 represents the amount u owe ur parents and you cannot owe your self so it shouldnt be added but subtracted to give us $97.
97/2=48.5 per parent,then an additional $1 each from the three dollar change would amount to 49.5 so 49.5x2= $99+$1 change remaining wyt d boi mks it $100.
first of all, no $1 is missing..$50 from both parent equals $100...buying the shirt for $97 means each parent donated $48.5($48.5+$48.5=$97)..he returned $1 back to each parent making it $49.5 and so the last $1 divided into 2 would make $50 back...so since he just returned $1 back, he still owes $49..no missing $1
After I have given Mom and dad the dollar u owe from both of them subtract 1 dollar and u r left with 97. This question was wrongly worded cause u did not subtract the dollar u both owe ur mum. And dad.
its very simple, 49+49=98+d 1 dollar each u returned to them=98+1+1=100, dats it, u dnt need account 4 d 1 dollar u ve wit u bcos its already part of d 98 dollar u ve to pay dem since u bot it 4 97 dollars nd want to keep d 1 dollar so u add it to d money u wil pay dem dats y its 98 dollars.
There is no missing 1k.... You are not owning your Parent 49k. You are Owing them 49.5k each. Add it together 49.5+49.5=99. Then plus the remains one with you equals to 100 which is the exact money you once had.
The $1 you kept is not meant to be added to what you owe, which is the $98. If you give the $1 you kept to either your mom or dad, then you would owe one of them $48 and the other $49. To determine the total amount borrowed, what you kept should not be added to what you owe in this particular scenario.
lets re-arrange the equation. 1. you borrowed $50 each from dad and mum, and returned $1 back to each of them. 2. so you owe both of them $49 each, meaning you have $49 + $49 = $98 3. shirt cost $97 4. $98 = $97(Cost of shirt) + $1 (with you)
The Statement above is LOGIC,not Maths, and the essence of a logical statement is always to test one's reasoning ability, so let me give my intelligent explanation since many will be confused @ the above, Actually, there is no missing 1k, You borrowed 100k, you returned 2k. So you really borrowed 98k, and bought your shirt 97k,thereby having 1k change in your pocket,..shikena#..sips ribena; can you see that i have presented my statement in another logical manner to counter the above thereby,proving that there is no missing 1k,...its just logic, another statement can still be presented to confuse a pupil..
Its Simple! When you give them a dollar each and owe them $98. That 98 is the 97(cost of the shirt and the $1 you kept for urself). You cannot add the dollar to the $98 debt. Therefore, the $1 each u gave them equals $2 pus $98( which is cost of shirt plus $1 ur holding all equals 100. QED.
its with d shirt seller . Cos u bot d shirt 97, meaning mum n pop actually paid $48.50 each, adding the $1 refund it gives $49.50 each, giving u a total of $99 den ur own $1 makes it complete. Hence the missing $1 is the two $0.50 .( ignored by linda) dat are chilling the Nike store.
Here is the answer. The guy bought the shirt @97k, and gave of his parents 1k each and kept 1k for himself. which amounts to 3k + 97k for the shirt. everything amounting to =100k. So there was never no missing 1k. Right or Wrong?
It's -98+1= -$97 is ur debt now Explanation: -98 is debt n $1 is a credit so in d real sense ur debt at $98 leaves u with $97 after paying $1. U cannot add what u dont have to what u have. It's like a dreamer waking from his dream and thinking he has lost $1 after that ur $99 bogus mathematics.
It didn't go anywhere. You spent $97, and gave $1 to each parent and kept $1 which equals $100. You owed each parent $49 (total $98) and paid each parent $1 (total $2) = $100. If you paid the $1 you kept for yourself back to your parents, then the reduced amount you would've owed them would be $97.
If you have a balance of $3 from the $100 you borrowed that means you bought the item for $97. To know the amount of money still being owed that you don't have at hand; Divide the purchase amount by two 97/2=48.5 If you refund $1 each to your parents that means you still owe each of them $49. Change the $1 you are left with into two and add to the amount you owe each of them that you don't have at hand i.e $48.5+$0.5=$49 ($1+$0.5+$48.5)*2=$100
Simple explanation. if you paid back mom and dad $1 each, you actually borrowed $49 each for the shirt, which gives a total of $98 so shirt($97) + change ($1) = $98. Complex explanation. The trick is in mixing borrowed with spent. say I have is H and borrowed is B and Spent is S (B=H+S). So I borrow $100 then my B=$100, my H=$100 and my S=$0 (100=100+0). so I buy my shirt B=$100, H=$3, s=$97 (100=97+3). I pay mom and dad $1 each.(if paying back is me spending my borrowed money) then B(1) is still=$100, H(1)=$1, S=$99 or I can say paying back reduces my borrowed which now mean B(2)=$98, S=$97, H(1)=$1. So the tricky question was why is B(2)+H(1) not equal to B(1). hope I didn't confuse u
There is no missing dollar because u owe your parents $49 + $49 = $98. YOu have $1 with you and u bought the shirt for $97. The $97 for the shirt plus your $1 equals the amount you are owing. The $1 you added at the end is illogical.
You don't need to add the $1 that you took. It is included in the $49 you owe each of your parents. Therefore the equasion equals $2. In effect, the missing dollar is sitting in front of you unaccounted for because you took it.
Well, the $1 dollar, i think is with me. Reason being that, since I collected a total of $100 from my parents and gave back to my parents a total of 2 dollar remaining $98. I just need $97 dollars plus my $1 to complete the payment.
The $1 is in the money he used to buy the shirt so therefore, i would say there is no missing dollar since he got the shirt for $97 and borrowed $100 and in return he has a change of $3 and gave his mum and dad $1 each and keeping $1, so the calculation goes this way; $97+$1+$1+$1=$100. thanks
97 was spent , u gave mum 1 doll and pop 1 doll making 99 dolls plus your 1 doll making 100 dollrs. 100-97-2-1 is zero. nothing letf. Gbam! confirm Professor of mathematic @ University of ilikenaijamusic.com. You all can thank me later. have fun.
Let Me Explain As Easy as I Can.. Its Easy Accounting... We are dealing with 5 Variables Here.. The Store, You, Your Mom, Your Dad and Where You Eventually get the $98 because it didnt fall from the sky(Let me call that Lender)
1st You see the Shirt, You have no money, you have not paid the store so its
Store = 0 You = 0 Mom = 50 Dad = 50 Lender = 98
Total of all Amounts = 198 ................................... Now U Get $50 from Dad and Mom
Store = 0 You = 100 Mom = 0 Dad = 0 Lender = 98
Total of all Amounts = 198 ................................... Now You Pay The Store
Store = 97 You = 3 Mom = 0 Dad = 0 Lender = 98 Total of all Amounts = 198 ...................................
You Give Mom and Dad $1 Each
Store 97 You = 1 Mom = 1 Dad = 1 Lender = 98
Total of all Amounts = 198 ................................... You Lend a 2nd 98 to Pay your Dad and Mom
Store 97 You = 99 Mom = 1 Dad = 1 Lender = 0
Total of all Amounts = 198 ................................... You now Pay 49 Each to Dad and Mom
The parents gave him 100dollars, he has paid back 2dollars bringing it down to 98dollars plus the one dollar he took makes it a total of 100dollars so there is no money outstanding
very simple, what ur owing is $98, and u bought the shirt for $97, so u will have to add up your $1 left with u to another $97 u need to pay back making the $98 you are owing...lol.. i got it right
There is no missing 1$, My analysis below $50 + 50$ = 100 ( 100 was the initial loan amount) but remember that you returned $1 each, dat means your new loan amount = $98 and not $100. so, $49 + $49 = $98 (new amount owned ) $97 $1 ( cost of shrit and the one you pocketed) i,e $98 = $98
Too cheap! Linda the ans is 49+49+2(1+1) u gave ur mum and Dad, your own 1 is not among Your 1 change and 99 of what u bought will give u 100 which is yours GBAM!... PLS POST MY COMMENT.
simple arithmetic, Mun50-1+Dad50-1=98-shirt97=1, this implies you will be owing ur mum 48.5 and your dad 48.5 to give u a balance payable(owing)of $97. So the Concluding part of ur logic in arranging the numbers was wrongly presented, bcos the mathematical signs are not dsame.e.g it should be amount owed $49+$49-the cash of $1 u held on to from the initial balance of $3(100-97)b4 paying the $2(i.e 1+1 given to mum&dad). Meaning the balance U OWE IS $97(49+49-1).Meaning u owe each person 48.5. 48.5x2=97.Therefore NO MISSING DOLLAR IN THE TRANSACTION! Diego Amando Simeone said so
first of all, how can the money with me still be missing? then secondly since am owing $99, its either i subtract the $1 with me and owe $98 or i will spent $1 on something else and then i know that am owing $99.
The question can be solved using logical reasoning. The money you owe ur parents=the money you have plus the one you use to buy cloth. Mathematically 50(ur dad) + 50(ur Mum) = 100 you have 50+50=97(for cloth) +3 (50-1)+(50-1)=97+1 49+49=98(account balanced, no missing money.)
Its a math error and doesn't make sense, you can't pay debt with debt.Even the $1 is still not yours. The $100 was given to you as a loan, so however you are paying back must be in full regardless of whether there was a change or not, otherwise you would have just borrowed $97.
Linda, your equation is wrong: adding debt and non debt. I owe my parents $100, this is the basic issue here. My change from the purchase is imaterial. After my purchase and i decide to start paying back by giving them $1 each, my debt now stands at $98. It is mathematically wrong to add my total debt ($98) to $1 and expect them to add up to $100. what u should add is $97 for the shirt, $2 for my parents and $1 for me: 97+2+1=100. Linda go learn maths 0.

so, the 1 dollar is not yours to keep so you dividee the 3 by two( mom and dad) and give them 1.5 each. 50-1.5 =48.5 . 48.5 multiplied by two = 97usd. and 97 +3 = 100 dollars. simple :)

The missing $1 is with me n' in the $98 (which is stil wit me)+++ the first $2 i gave dem= $100. So i wil give them $98 ++ $2 i already gave them equals 100
y'll didn't notice? our indefatigable Prince "mr.know All" Charming,who alongside Bonario fall among the first 5 commenters on this blog, only commented when others have solve the puzzle.anyway the best grammarians are not always the best Mathematicians.guy na joke o!..no attack me with grammer abeg.
The $1 is lost in the wordings of the question. The wrong numbers were added to get the $98 in the question. It should be $97(4 d shirt)+$1(dt u kept)+$2(dat u've given ur parents)=$100
If you are returning the change to them, then what they borrowed you is $48.5 each since $97/2 is $48.5. However instead of giving them $3, you gave them $2 i.e $1 dollar each.$48.5 + the $1 change = $49.5. You have $1 left out of the change which when divided into two will give $0.5 (or 50 cents). Therefore, once you return one dollar each to mum and dad what you are then owing is $48.5 + $0.5 which = $49 each
Linda, whoever came up with that formular is an olodo cuz the person should not be adding the remaining $1 change to the $98. If you've paid $2 back to mum and dad, then the remaining $1 is the difference between the remaining money owed i.e $98 and the actual money spent. Thus, the remaining $1 change should not have been added to $98 but subtracted from it to give the actual money spent on the goods.
Linda, do u now see dat Libers are not daft, lay-about, jobless and uneducated rather u have solid people visiting ur blog and making useful comments excluding a few though! Nice one, Libers!
Linda, the missing 1N is with boy. They 1N he kept he has to add N97 to make N98 and gv his parents to make it N100 if he hadn't spent it, but if he had spent it, he gat to get the complete N98 naira to square them up.
You don't need to add the $1 that you took. It is included in the $49 you owe each of your parents. Therefore the equasion equals $2.
You borrow $50 from each of your parents ($100) You buy your shirt -$97 =($3). You give $1 each back to your parents = ($1)
What you owe your parents is $50 - $1 each, ($49x2) = $98. The dollar that you took is included in the $98. So, $98 plus the $2 that you gave your parents =$100.
In effect, the missing dollar is sitting in front of you unaccounted for because you took it.
in actual fact, 97naira - the cost price divided by 2 (mom and dad) is 48.5naira, add the 1naira he gave each parent(48.5naira X 2 = 99naira ( + 1naira left with him ) =100naira. so in actual fact, he owes his parents 49.5naira, and not 49naira
in actual fact, he bought the item for 97naira ( divided by both parents, that's 48.5naira owed either parent. 48.5naira + 1naira (given each parent ) =49.5naira (X 2 =99naira ) 99naira + 1naira (left with the chap) = 100naira. So he actually owe either parent 49.5naira and not 49naira.

if you buy the shirt for $97 and have $3 change it means u owe you parents $48.50 each now add the $1 you gave each of them you'll get $49.5. Now multiply $49.5 by 2 and you'll get $99. add the remaining $1 with you and your $100 is complete. I studied mathematics baby.
the $1 is with whom sold u the shirt. the shirt was sold for $97 meaning $48 each from both dad and mums $50 $48+$48= $96 the shirt sold for $97 $97-$96= $1(missing) now return $1 to dad and mum each makes it $49. now $49+$49+$1(with u)+$1(missing)=100.
u had 100, u bought a shirt 97, u had 3 left, u gave mum one and gave dad one, the remaining u kept. i.e $97 for the shirt + $1 for mum (=$98) + $1 for dad (=$99) + $1 for you (=$100).
To those that dont still understand, its quite easy, u collected $100 from ur dad and mum and den u spent 97 naira, leaving u wit 3 naira. u gave 1 naira each back to ur parents dats 2 naira. The math is dis 98+2. y? This is because u cannot add your 1 naira cos it hasnt yet being spent, its still part of d 100 naira being borrowed. i hope any reader undastands dis. @Ayam_iphy
Aunty linda! D brain test no hard as I 1st feared.... D one thing b say n da right thing to say $1 dollar missing was chopped by 'shirt purchased'at $97 dollar price....*yawns*
The solution is wrong. Yes, you cannot add the remainder i.e. 49 + 49, before subtracting the balance. The right approach is: Spent=97, Give back 1 each i.e. 1+1=2. To balance=49+49=98. 98-97=1...which you still have with you. So you either divide the 1 i.e. 1/2 each, Or you wait to get back the 97 and the 1 you have to make 97+1=98. Give back 49+49 each. That is it! Finally, 49+49+1+1=97+1+1+1(you kept)= 97+3. Give me my award now...
Aunty linda! D brain test no hard as I 1st feared.... D one thing b say n da right thing to say $1 dollar missing was chopped by 'shirt purchased'at $97 dollar price....*yawns*
Son borrowed from Mom & Dad =100$ and purchae an Item =97$ . After purchased Item, cash @hand 3$ . Return 2$ to M&D as part of the 100$ borrowed and reserved 1k for himsrlf.
WORKING:
Item 97 devided by 2 return to M/D = 48.5 M/D Reserved cash @ hand 1 + M/D 48.5 = 49.5 M/D M/D 49.5 multiply by 2 = 99 Sum Total 99 + cash reserved 1. 99 + 1 = 100 Total + 100$
The answer is this...if you are giving $100 and asked to settle your debt and you give your daddy $49 and mum $49, the remaining will be $2. Of which $49 + $49= $98 + your $1= $99...so the prodigal $1 Will need to come home to regain his birth-right...thank you most rated Linda.
Na wa o!!! Too many olodo here o. But some people did get the trick anyway. There was no missing dollar. It only seem so cos the maths in the puzzle is all wrong. The $98 he owes is parent is made up f the $97 already spent and the $1 change he didn't return. The puzzle had no business adding that $1 to the $98 again as it already is part of the $98. So, to get the $100 you simply add the $98 owed to the $2 already refunded. Gbim!!!
There is no one dollar remaining you can't add your asset to your liability, the account is balanced. Add your one dollar to your $97 for the shirt which will give you $98 n your parents also have $98 . Assets = Liabilities.........
you owe your parents $98 simple, why add the $1 that you never spent in the first place? you lent $100 you returned $2 now you are looking for $1 that's not lost abeg goan sit down.
linda!!!!!! you no go school... why are you adding the 1$ that is with you with the money you are oweing your parent... instead you are meant to subtract the the 1$ with you from the 98$ which will give you the cost price 97$.. dooooooor!!!!!!!
thats a crappy calculation. if the shirt was to be converted to money back, he would have 97 and the he will add 1 with him making 98. gives dad 49 and mum 49, making it balanced. 97 - (49 + 49) +1 = 0 97 - 49 - 49 + 1 = 0
Another way is if he was to pay back and genuinely had another 100, he simply gives his dad 49, mum , 49 and he will be left 2. if he adds the 1 from the initial transaction, it will make 3 = the initial balance from the cost of shirt if he bought it with his money.

Ur nt supposed to add dt $1 to da $98 cos its a debt, n d $1 is cash at hand, so yu subtract frm da $98 n yu hve $97 n d remain'n $3 is wat yu shared amongst urselves....clap 4me!...rily a brain teaser tho.... #Ajyrow#
simple logic........divide 97 by 2.so each parent has 48.5...add the 1$ to each parent equals 49.5 each..making a total of $99. plus your own $1 equal $100...shikenaah....technically
there is no money missing, your 1 dollar+ your mom 1 dollar and your dad 1 dollar is equal to 3 dollar plus 97 answer equal to 100 dollar divide by 2 answer is 50
The money u owed supposed to carry minus(-)sign while, the money at hand i.e your $1 should carries d positive(+)sign. Therefore the correct question is $1-($49+$49)=$1-$98= $97. U must knw this $97 is used in purchasing the shirt in question. SIMPLE

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 582 of 582The math is wrong. There is no missing $1.
You borrowed $50 from your dad and $50 from you mum. You bought a shirt for $97, and you have $3 for change. You give a dollar each to your mum and dad, and you're left with $1.
Now you owe your dad $49 and your mum $49. You have $98 to pay back all together.
In essence, your dad has $1 and your mum has $1. You have $49 to give to your dad, and $49 to give to your mum. The right math would actually be: $1 (with your mum) + $1 (with your dad) + $49 (which you owe your dad) + $49 (which you owe your mum) = $100.
You CANNOT include the $1 with you in the math, because the math is (or really should be) about how much you collected from your dad and mum ($100), how much you owe them after collection ($100), how much you gave them back ($2), and how much you have left to give ($98 = $49 for Dad and $49 for Mum).
You can thank me later ;)
Chucks.
If you read it well it says "you kept the 'other' one dollar to yourself" "your dollar" is not the dollar you kept. i hope am ri8 oooo .

Wrong calculation Lindodo!!!The secret is in dividing what you owe between the debtors.When you bought the shirt for $97 it means you actually owe your parents $97 divided by two which equals $48.50 apiece. So if you initially split the $3 with you between them, at $1.50 apiece, each are supposed to receive $48.5 + $1.50 which equals $50 initially borrowed from each. So when you give each of them $1 back, each of them is actually supposed to have $48.50 + $1 which equals to $49.50(not $49 as stated!!!) apiece. $49.50 + $49.50 equals $90 plus the $1 you are holding equals $100. QED. Any prize for this? Please let me know so I can send my account number..Loool!!!
It's with you since you retained $1 out of d $3 change
The whole question is filled with errors because for starters you can't give each parent =N=49, this will amount to =N=98 if it is added up. The top is not an 'even number;'97'. So for me its (48.5 + 48.5 + 1 + 1 + 1)!
Best Answer There is no missing dollar. BEFORE: Mom: $50 Dad: $50 You: $0 TGTAL: $100 AFTER: Mom: $1 Dad: $1 Shirt: $97 You: $1 TGTAL: $100 =) What you owe your parents is unrelated to where the actual money is.
You are the one dat made a mistake. You are adding a $1 asset to a $98 liability. The asset and liability are meant to be equal to $98.
Initial B.S
Asset
Goods = $97
Cash = $3
Total Asset = $100
Liability
Debt = $100
Balance sheet after payment of $2 would be;
Asset
Goods = $97
Cash = 3 - 2 = $1
Total asset = $98
Liability
Debt = $100 - $2 = $98.
You are not supposed to add the $1 left with you cos $49 represents the amount u owe ur parents and you cannot owe your self so it shouldnt be added but subtracted to give us $97.
You spent $48.50 from each of the $50 you got. $48.50*2= $97.00. If you returned $2 and kept $1 back, then there's no missing dollar.
U use am buy kwuli kwuli @ linda.
The missing $1 is the one you kept for and by yourself.
Okatahi
Tax?
The missing $1 is with me.
97/2=48.5 per parent,then an additional $1 each from the three dollar change would amount to 49.5
so 49.5x2= $99+$1 change remaining wyt d boi mks it $100.
first of all, no $1 is missing..$50 from both parent equals $100...buying the shirt for $97 means each parent donated $48.5($48.5+$48.5=$97)..he returned $1 back to each parent making it $49.5 and so the last $1 divided into 2 would make $50 back...so since he just returned $1 back, he still owes $49..no missing $1
When you paid back $1 apiece back, each of them is supposed to be owing each of them $49.50 and not $49.
1st to comment
After I have given Mom and dad the dollar u owe from both of them subtract 1 dollar and u r left with 97. This question was wrongly worded cause u did not subtract the dollar u both owe ur mum. And dad.
its very simple, 49+49=98+d 1 dollar each u returned to them=98+1+1=100, dats it, u dnt need account 4 d 1 dollar u ve wit u bcos its already part of d 98 dollar u ve to pay dem since u bot it 4 97 dollars nd want to keep d 1 dollar so u add it to d money u wil pay dem dats y its 98 dollars.
With U nah!
The actual amount borrowed is $98 (DAD and MUM were given 1$ change each) and this equal $97 for shirt and $1 cash with me. No missing 1$.
Oluboritayo@yahoo.com
I don't have any dollar to begin with.so my 1$ is not real.that means dad and moms=98 plus the 1$ I returned to Each =100
lol. You can't add your liabilites($98) to your current asset($1). it doesnt make sense!!!
Yours truly,
Accountant
There is no missing 1k.... You are not owning your Parent 49k. You are Owing them 49.5k each. Add it together 49.5+49.5=99. Then plus the remains one with you equals to 100 which is the exact money you once had.
The actual amount owed is $98 ( DAD and MUM were given $1 change each) and this equals $97 for the shirt and 1$ change with me. No missing $1
oluboritayo@yahoo.com
The $1 you kept is not meant to be added to what you owe, which is the $98. If you give the $1 you kept to either your mom or dad, then you would owe one of them $48 and the other $49. To determine the total amount borrowed, what you kept should not be added to what you owe in this particular scenario.
one of your readers took it...lol
lets re-arrange the equation.
1. you borrowed $50 each from dad and mum, and returned $1 back to each of them.
2. so you owe both of them $49 each, meaning you have $49 + $49 = $98
3. shirt cost $97
4. $98 = $97(Cost of shirt) + $1 (with you)
eqn balance. there is no $1 left anywhere.
E b lyk d tn fall 4 gutter on my way home
Linda you no go kill person o ooo
Just see this : 100 was borrowed, the person brought the shirt for 97 Naira change was 3 Naira.
if you divide 97 by 2 the ans is 48.5.
To balance your dad and mom you have to give them 1.5 Naira respectively.
Then balance to give them
48 naira 50 kobo.
It's in the $97
There is no missing $. You owe $98; $97 for a shirt and $1 for you.
The mi$$in one is for Tithe
Silly conundrum girl, there is no missing money, you omitted the two dollars, he paid his parents and added the dollar he kept.
its a math error!
The shirt price increased to $98
The Statement above is LOGIC,not Maths, and the essence of a logical statement is always to test one's reasoning ability, so let me give my intelligent explanation since many will be confused @ the above, Actually, there is no missing 1k, You borrowed 100k, you returned 2k. So you really borrowed 98k, and bought your shirt 97k,thereby having 1k change in your pocket,..shikena#..sips ribena; can you see that i have presented my statement in another logical manner to counter the above thereby,proving that there is no missing 1k,...its just logic, another statement can still be presented to confuse a pupil..
It sud b $97+ma mums $1+ma dads $1 that give $99 + ma own that's $100.
Its Simple! When you give them a dollar each and owe them $98. That 98 is the 97(cost of the shirt and the $1 you kept for urself). You cannot add the dollar to the $98 debt. Therefore, the $1 each u gave them equals $2 pus $98( which is cost of shirt plus $1 ur holding all equals 100. QED.
its with d shirt seller . Cos u bot d shirt 97, meaning mum n pop actually paid $48.50 each, adding the $1 refund it gives $49.50 each, giving u a total of $99 den ur own $1 makes it complete.
Hence the missing $1 is the two $0.50 .( ignored by linda) dat are chilling the Nike store.
Its in your pocket
Here is the answer. The guy bought the shirt @97k, and gave of his parents 1k each and kept 1k for himself. which amounts to 3k + 97k for the shirt. everything amounting to =100k.
So there was never no missing 1k.
Right or Wrong?
It's -98+1= -$97 is ur debt now Explanation: -98 is debt n $1 is a credit so in d real sense ur debt at $98 leaves u with $97 after paying $1. U cannot add what u dont have to what u have. It's like a dreamer waking from his dream and thinking he has lost $1 after that ur $99 bogus mathematics.
It didn't go anywhere.
You spent $97, and gave $1 to each parent and kept $1 which equals $100.
You owed each parent $49 (total $98) and paid each parent $1 (total $2) = $100. If you paid the $1 you kept for yourself back to your parents, then the reduced amount you would've owed them would be $97.
lol $1 is on tax...PAY UR TAX 2DAY!!!
Linda so u didn't still post my comment abi? God is watching u on 3D.
@ the onset u didnt have now money with you so y giving yourself $1 now. so the remaining $1 is with you.
If you have a balance of $3 from the $100 you borrowed that means you bought the item for $97. To know the amount of money still being owed that you don't have at hand;
Divide the purchase amount by two
97/2=48.5
If you refund $1 each to your parents that means you still owe each of them $49.
Change the $1 you are left with into two and add to the amount you owe each of them that you don't have at hand i.e $48.5+$0.5=$49
($1+$0.5+$48.5)*2=$100
Simple explanation. if you paid back mom and dad $1 each, you actually borrowed $49 each for the shirt, which gives a total of $98 so shirt($97) + change ($1) = $98.
Complex explanation. The trick is in mixing borrowed with spent. say I have is H and borrowed is B and Spent is S (B=H+S). So I borrow $100 then my B=$100, my H=$100 and my S=$0 (100=100+0). so I buy my shirt B=$100, H=$3, s=$97 (100=97+3). I pay mom and dad $1 each.(if paying back is me spending my borrowed money) then B(1) is still=$100, H(1)=$1, S=$99 or I can say paying back reduces my borrowed which now mean B(2)=$98, S=$97, H(1)=$1. So the tricky question was why is B(2)+H(1) not equal to B(1). hope I didn't confuse u
Hmmmmm! now i know why i have been losing so much money anytime i go to the market to buy a shirt.
why should i answer when google dey? ive seen the answer...make i crack my brain on money making things. lol
In actual fact he borrowed $98 bought the shirt$97 and has a balance of $1.
you bargained and bought the phone for 96$ so you have a balance of 1$
Few sensible comments I've seen here
U owe them 98$ and the one dollar u kept back is part of that 98$.
The missing $1 is in the money he used for buying the shirt.
There is no missing dollar because u owe your parents $49 + $49 = $98. YOu have $1 with you and u bought the shirt for $97. The $97 for the shirt plus your $1 equals the amount you are owing. The $1 you added at the end is illogical.
You don't need to add the $1 that you took. It is included in the $49 you owe each of your parents.
Therefore the equasion equals $2. In effect, the missing dollar is sitting in front of you unaccounted for because you took it.
Hehehehehehe Fake guy. So u come here to to prostitute Abi? There aren't two gamdyens on earth.
Well, the $1 dollar, i think is with me. Reason being that, since I collected a total of $100 from my parents and gave back to my parents a total of 2 dollar remaining $98. I just need $97 dollars plus my $1 to complete the payment.
u dnt add wat u owe 2 wat u own....
The $1 is in the money he used to buy the shirt so therefore, i would say there is no missing dollar since he got the shirt for $97 and borrowed $100 and in return he has a change of $3 and gave his mum and dad $1 each and keeping $1, so the calculation goes this way; $97+$1+$1+$1=$100. thanks
Linlin, the answer is simple
You borrowed $49 from your Day and $49 from your mum.
$49 + $49 = $98
You bought the shirt for $97
$98 - $97 = $1
If we can win something then i will give the answer ...Else the Answer is ....Uhmmmmmm
97 was spent , u gave mum 1 doll and pop 1 doll making 99 dolls plus your 1 doll making 100 dollrs. 100-97-2-1 is zero. nothing letf. Gbam! confirm Professor of mathematic @ University of ilikenaijamusic.com.
You all can thank me later. have fun.
Let Me Explain As Easy as I Can.. Its Easy Accounting...
We are dealing with 5 Variables Here.. The Store, You, Your Mom, Your Dad and Where You Eventually get the $98 because it didnt fall from the sky(Let me call that Lender)
1st You see the Shirt, You have no money, you have not paid the store so its
Store = 0
You = 0
Mom = 50
Dad = 50
Lender = 98
Total of all Amounts = 198
...................................
Now U Get $50 from Dad and Mom
Store = 0
You = 100
Mom = 0
Dad = 0
Lender = 98
Total of all Amounts = 198
...................................
Now You Pay The Store
Store = 97
You = 3
Mom = 0
Dad = 0
Lender = 98
Total of all Amounts = 198
...................................
You Give Mom and Dad $1 Each
Store 97
You = 1
Mom = 1
Dad = 1
Lender = 98
Total of all Amounts = 198
...................................
You Lend a 2nd 98 to Pay your Dad and Mom
Store 97
You = 99
Mom = 1
Dad = 1
Lender = 0
Total of all Amounts = 198
...................................
You now Pay 49 Each to Dad and Mom
Store 97
You = 1
Mom = 50
Dad = 50
Lender = 0
Total of all Amounts = 198
Now Money Is Missing
Shut up! It's $ not k. Monkey. That's how you fail exams.Madam logic.
Bcos you took 1$ it can't be calculated with the debt 99$, the calculated 99$ is your debt, to make it 100$ he needs to add his own 1$
Bcos you took 1$ it can't be calculated with the debt 99$, the calculated 99$ is your debt, to make it 100$ he needs to add his own 1$
The parents gave him 100dollars, he has paid back 2dollars bringing it down to 98dollars plus the one dollar he took makes it a total of 100dollars so there is no money outstanding
Linda tell us the answer....
if you ask me, na who i go ask.... dis ? is brain tricking jare....
THIS IS SERIOUS! He should just pay the $98 dollars he owes his parents and leave the rest to God.
the 1k is with the guy that bought the phone,at least he was not owing himself and yet he add 1k + another 1k from the money he borrowed making it 2k.
very simple, what ur owing is $98, and u bought the shirt for $97, so u will have to add up your $1 left with u to another $97 u need to pay back making the $98 you are owing...lol.. i got it right
Hehehe#ow many times to i have to solve dis mystery..perhaps,its high time i let some odas try#
ooops i am tired already
so people know maths to this extent.... and when asked at uni... Maths is what you hate most...lol good one we have genius in Nigeria.
Too cheap! Linda the ans is 49+49+2(1+1) u gave ur mum and Dad, your own 1 is not among GBAM!...
PLS POST MY COMMENT.
the one naira left is the missing one...you have to split it to pay your parents?
The second addition of ($49 + $49 + $1) is totally uncalled for.
You are now owing your parents $98. Finish.
There is no missing 1$, My analysis below
$50 + 50$ = 100 ( 100 was the initial loan amount) but remember that you returned $1 each, dat means your new loan amount = $98 and not $100.
so, $49 + $49 = $98 (new amount owned )
$97 $1 ( cost of shrit and the one you pocketed)
i,e $98 = $98

PLS POST MY COMMENT.
the answer is there is no missing money. i bought the shirt for $97,borrowed $100 from parents, paid them $2 have $1 to myself, so
borrowed $100
purchase $97
change $3
so therefore cost of shirt + $2(parents) + $1(myself) = $100
there is no missing money logically.

simple arithmetic, Mun50-1+Dad50-1=98-shirt97=1, this implies you will be owing ur mum 48.5 and your dad 48.5 to give u a balance payable(owing)of $97. So the Concluding part of ur logic in arranging the numbers was wrongly presented, bcos the mathematical signs are not dsame.e.g it should be amount owed $49+$49-the cash of $1 u held on to from the initial balance of $3(100-97)b4 paying the $2(i.e 1+1 given to mum&dad). Meaning the balance U OWE IS $97(49+49-1).Meaning u owe each person 48.5. 48.5x2=97.Therefore NO MISSING DOLLAR IN THE TRANSACTION! Diego Amando Simeone said so
first of all, how can the money with me still be missing? then secondly since am owing $99, its either i subtract the $1 with me and owe $98 or i will spent $1 on something else and then i know that am owing $99.
The question can be solved using logical reasoning. The money you owe ur parents=the money you have plus the one you use to buy cloth.
Mathematically
50(ur dad) + 50(ur Mum) = 100 you have
50+50=97(for cloth) +3
(50-1)+(50-1)=97+1
49+49=98(account balanced, no missing money.)
It's as good as returning $48.5 each.and that plus the remaining $3 gives $100. there is no missing money.
Kk
Its a math error and doesn't make sense, you can't pay debt with debt.Even the $1 is still not yours. The $100 was given to you as a loan, so however you are paying back must be in full regardless of whether there was a change or not, otherwise you would have just borrowed $97.
Linda, your equation is wrong: adding debt and non debt. I owe my parents $100, this is the basic issue here. My change from the purchase is imaterial. After my purchase and i decide to start paying back by giving them $1 each, my debt now stands at $98. It is mathematically wrong to add my total debt ($98) to $1 and expect them to add up to $100. what u should add is $97 for the shirt, $2 for my parents and $1 for me: 97+2+1=100. Linda go learn maths 0.

from CRC IT students, the test said kept the other (which means 1dollar) and 1dollar for yourself. which means the missing 1dollar is d 1 u kept.
D missing $1 is wit him
WATA STRANGE MAS.
#EndTimeMaths.
so, the 1 dollar is not yours to keep so you dividee the 3 by two( mom and dad) and give them 1.5 each. 50-1.5 =48.5 . 48.5 multiplied by two = 97usd. and 97 +3 = 100 dollars. simple :)
The 1 dollar is not yours to keep in the first place so you divide the 3 by two( mom and dad) and give them 1.5 each. 50-1.5 =48.5 . 48.5 multiplied by two = 97 usd. and 97 +3 = 100 dollars. simple :)
Using the principles of Debit and Credit,no dollar is missing! But if you insist, then na for your pocket e dey!!
nothing is missing. assets and liabilities:
assets: shirt (97) + cash you keep (1)
total assets: 98
liabilities: 50 to each parent
total liabilities: 100
liabilities - assets: 2
net liability: 2
this net liability was already paid when you gave 1 to each parent
Here is the boss!.....This is the correct explanation linda that's incase u dont even know it
Linda, you've just confirmed that you did poorly in Mathematics while in secondary school.
You go fear calculations. Lol
Linda d name of kimnye's dota is Kaidence Donda West,,,,,,tank me later ooooo
#PassyD#
Nice one Linda, This one na primary four question. You cannot owe yourself, ole. So just drop the one dollar you owe thats the missing $1
The missing $1 is with me n' in the $98 (which is stil wit me)+++ the first $2 i gave dem=
$100.
So i wil give them $98 ++ $2 i already gave them equals 100
You divide the 1 by two.
THIS EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THE RECESSION!!!
CLAP FOR YOURSELVES.

The $1 is lost in the wordings of the question. The wrong numbers were added to get the $98 in the question. It should be $97(4 d shirt)+$1(dt u kept)+$2(dat u've given ur parents)=$100
Ademola Moblog,can you now see why you fail exams even after requesting for extra sheet????after you go say WAEC dey do ojoro....
If you are returning the change to them, then what they borrowed you is $48.5 each since $97/2 is $48.5. However instead of giving them $3, you gave them $2 i.e $1 dollar each.$48.5 + the $1 change = $49.5. You have $1 left out of the change which when divided into two will give $0.5 (or 50 cents). Therefore, once you return one dollar each to mum and dad what you are then owing is $48.5 + $0.5 which = $49 each
Linda, whoever came up with that formular is an olodo cuz the person should not be adding the remaining $1 change to the $98. If you've paid $2 back to mum and dad, then the remaining $1 is the difference between the remaining money owed i.e $98 and the actual money spent. Thus, the remaining $1 change should not have been added to $98 but subtracted from it to give the actual money spent on the goods.
See enough mathematicians and accountants in the house.
THE ONE NAIRA IS ON THE 97 PAID. IF YOU ADD 48 FROM MUM AND 48 FROM DAD, U GET 96. 97-96 GIVES YOU THE MISSING ONE NAIRA.
Linda, do u now see dat Libers are not daft, lay-about, jobless and uneducated rather u have solid people visiting ur blog and making useful comments excluding a few though! Nice one, Libers!
i use am buy anoda shirt 160 naira for katangoa
Why dollars in Nigeria. Linda, you should be Niger-oriented. Now if it was Naira denominated, it would have been easier for me to solve. UP NIGERIA
∑fx + ∑x = (98 +1) + (1) = $100
No $ missing!
Linda, the missing 1N is with boy. They 1N he kept he has to add N97 to make N98 and gv his parents to make it N100 if he hadn't spent it, but if he had spent it, he gat to get the complete N98 naira to square them up.
You don't need to add the $1 that you took. It is included in the $49 you owe each of your parents.
Therefore the equasion equals $2.
You borrow $50 from each of your parents ($100)
You buy your shirt -$97 =($3).
You give $1 each back to your parents = ($1)
What you owe your parents is $50 - $1 each, ($49x2) = $98.
The dollar that you took is included in the $98.
So, $98 plus the $2 that you gave your parents =$100.
In effect, the missing dollar is sitting in front of you unaccounted for because you took it.
$100 - $2 = $98 - $97 = $1 or $97 + $1 + $1 = £99 + 1 = $100
in actual fact, 97naira - the cost price divided by 2 (mom and dad) is 48.5naira, add the 1naira he gave each parent(48.5naira X 2 = 99naira ( + 1naira left with him ) =100naira. so in actual fact, he owes his parents 49.5naira, and not 49naira
in actual fact, he bought the item for 97naira ( divided by both parents, that's 48.5naira owed either parent.
48.5naira + 1naira (given each parent ) =49.5naira (X 2 =99naira ) 99naira + 1naira (left with the chap) = 100naira.
So he actually owe either parent 49.5naira and not 49naira.
in actual fact, 97naira - the cost price divided by 2 (mom and dad) is 48.5naira, add the 1naira he gave each parent(48.5naira X 2 = 99naira ( + 1naira left with him ) =100naira. so in actual fact, he owes his parents 49.5naira, and not 49naira
the remaining $1 is part of the money for the shirt.
the remaining $1 is part of the money for the shirt.
simple solution.The guy only borrowed $98 from his parents, bought the shirt for $97 and has the remaining $1 to himself.
if you buy the shirt for $97 and have $3 change it means u owe you parents $48.50 each now add the $1 you gave each of them you'll get $49.5. Now multiply $49.5 by 2 and you'll get $99. add the remaining $1 with you and your $100 is complete. I studied mathematics baby.
the $1 is with whom sold u the shirt. the shirt was sold for $97 meaning $48 each from both dad and mums $50
$48+$48= $96
the shirt sold for $97
$97-$96= $1(missing)
now return $1 to dad and mum each makes it $49.
now $49+$49+$1(with u)+$1(missing)=100.
u had 100, u bought a shirt 97, u had 3 left, u gave mum one and gave dad one, the remaining u kept. i.e $97 for the shirt + $1 for mum (=$98) + $1 for dad (=$99) + $1 for you (=$100).
To those that dont still understand, its quite easy, u collected $100 from ur dad and mum and den u spent 97 naira, leaving u wit 3 naira. u gave 1 naira each back to ur parents dats 2 naira. The math is dis 98+2. y? This is because u cannot add your 1 naira cos it hasnt yet being spent, its still part of d 100 naira being borrowed. i hope any reader undastands dis. @Ayam_iphy
Aunty linda! D brain test no hard as I 1st feared.... D one thing b say n da right thing to say $1 dollar missing was chopped by 'shirt purchased'at $97 dollar price....*yawns*
This is how you fail exams. Where K for enter the matter? Them say $ you talk say na K. You come sip ribena in top. Yeye dey worry you
wigbim........ ibaa
The solution is wrong. Yes, you cannot add the remainder i.e. 49 + 49, before subtracting the balance. The right approach is: Spent=97, Give back 1 each i.e. 1+1=2. To balance=49+49=98. 98-97=1...which you still have with you. So you either divide the 1 i.e. 1/2 each, Or you wait to get back the 97 and the 1 you have to make 97+1=98. Give back 49+49 each. That is it! Finally, 49+49+1+1=97+1+1+1(you kept)= 97+3. Give me my award now...
Old riddle.... There is no missing $1....
Linda there is no $1, you take $97 from $98 not $100. so what you get is $1 which is with you
Aunty linda! D brain test no hard as I 1st feared.... D one thing b say n da right thing to say $1 dollar missing was chopped by 'shirt purchased'at $97 dollar price....*yawns*
Linda, I've often said that, there are 2 things that can make a person go mad. 1. Indian Hemp. 2. Mathematics.
Na this kind mathematics roadside forex burea dey use confuse and dupe oesin
dont add your liability to your profit.. its that simple
The missing dollar is the $1 dollar you kept for yourself.
Son borrowed from Mom & Dad =100$ and purchae an Item =97$ .
After purchased Item, cash @hand 3$ .
Return 2$ to M&D as part of the 100$ borrowed
and reserved 1k for himsrlf.
WORKING:
Item 97 devided by 2 return to M/D = 48.5 M/D
Reserved cash @ hand 1 + M/D 48.5 = 49.5 M/D
M/D 49.5 multiply by 2 = 99
Sum Total 99 + cash reserved 1.
99 + 1 = 100
Total + 100$
Income: 50+50=$100
Expenditure: 97+1+1=$99
Balance in your pocket: Income - Expenditure = $1
The $1 is in your pocket.
uve either kept it fr urself or its with the shop keeper
The answer is this...if you are giving $100 and asked to settle your debt and you give your daddy $49 and mum $49, the remaining will be $2. Of which $49 + $49= $98 + your $1= $99...so the prodigal $1 Will need to come home to regain his birth-right...thank you most rated Linda.
you go fear accountants and mathematicians na... Naija people no dey dull!
Well!
My Name is TG from Port Harcourt.
The maths is simply straightforward, the answer is as follows:
Shirt value = $97
Borrowed Sum: Mum = $50
Dad = $50
Residual Balance = $3
Loan Repayment: Mum = $1
Dad = $1
You (the debtor) = $1
What you are owning is therefore,
Mum = -$49
Dad = -$49
so -$49 + -$49 = -$98 add the remaining $1 with you = -$97
Hence, you are still owning your Mum and Dad -$97
The minus sign exist because it is a debt.
So there is no $1 missing, instead the $1 dollar with you, will be shared to both, while you will still be in debt of $97.
Thanks and God bless you all.
No dollar missing. Its 48.5x2 97 plus 3 dollars.
Na wa o!!! Too many olodo here o. But some people did get the trick anyway. There was no missing dollar. It only seem so cos the maths in the puzzle is all wrong. The $98 he owes is parent is made up f the $97 already spent and the $1 change he didn't return. The puzzle had no business adding that $1 to the $98 again as it already is part of the $98. So, to get the $100 you simply add the $98 owed to the $2 already refunded. Gbim!!!
You owe $98. You don't owe the $1 you kept for your self.
add ur 1$ to d shirt you bought =98$, then add the 2$ u gave out = 100$.
so there's no 1$ remaining linda.
There is no one dollar remaining you can't add your asset to your liability, the account is balanced. Add your one dollar to your $97 for the shirt which will give you $98 n your parents also have $98 . Assets = Liabilities.........
its so easy buh i dont know it :-)
you owe your parents $98 simple, why add the $1 that you never spent in the first place? you lent $100 you returned $2 now you are looking for $1 that's not lost abeg goan sit down.
linda!!!!!! you no go school... why are you adding the 1$ that is with you with the money you are oweing your parent... instead you are meant to subtract the the 1$ with you from the 98$ which will give you the cost price 97$.. dooooooor!!!!!!!
thats a crappy calculation.
if the shirt was to be converted to money back, he would have 97 and the he will add 1 with him making 98. gives dad 49 and mum 49, making it balanced.
97 - (49 + 49) +1 = 0
97 - 49 - 49 + 1 = 0
Another way is if he was to pay back and genuinely had another 100, he simply gives his dad 49, mum , 49 and he will be left 2. if he adds the 1 from the initial transaction, it will make 3 = the initial balance from the cost of shirt if he bought it with his money.
100 - (49 + 49) + 1 = 3
100 - 49 - 49) + 1 = 3 (initial balance from the purchase)
Dont get confused.

Ur nt supposed to add dt $1 to da $98 cos its a debt, n d $1 is cash at hand, so yu subtract frm da $98 n yu hve $97 n d remain'n $3 is wat yu shared amongst urselves....clap 4me!...rily a brain teaser tho....
#Ajyrow#
simple logic........divide 97 by 2.so each parent has 48.5...add the 1$ to each parent equals 49.5 each..making a total of $99. plus your own $1 equal $100...shikenaah....technically
the $1 is with the BOI lINDA
linda u dnt post my comment on blog. so i think i have to stop coming here.....................................
there is no money missing, your 1 dollar+ your mom 1 dollar and your dad 1 dollar is equal to 3 dollar plus 97 answer equal to 100 dollar divide by 2 answer is 50
the shirt is N97,
the parents took N1 each
the boy took N1
finish
u aint gonna have anytin left cos u borrowed and u refunded 2dols bak so dat 1 left is part of d money u bought somtin frm...
am yet to pay them back...
U can't owe itself nd besides d question arrangement is wrong.
The money u owed supposed to carry minus(-)sign while, the money at hand i.e your $1 should carries d positive(+)sign. Therefore the correct question is $1-($49+$49)=$1-$98= $97. U must knw this $97 is used in purchasing the shirt in question. SIMPLE
lol @ raji hakeem.... how about if you add the $1 you kept = $101 lmao!!!
