Missing dollar problem This sounds silly but I saw this and I couldn't figure it out so I thought you could help.
The below is what I saw.
You see a top you want to buy for $\$97$, but you don't have any money so you borrow $\$50$ from your mom and $\$50$ from your dad.  You buy the top and have $\$3$ change, you give your mom $\$1$,your dad $\$1$, and keep $\$1$ for yourself.  You now owe your mom $\$49$ and your dad $\$49$.
$\$49 + \$49 = \$98$ and you kept $\$1$.   Where is the missing $\$1$?

top = 97
from each parent: 48.50
48.50 + 48.50 = 97
remainder from each parent = 1.50 x 2 = 3.00
3.00 - (1.00 to each parent = 2) - (1.00 for yourself = 1) = 0
owed to each parent: 48.50  [97]
giving one dollar to each parent: 49.50  [99]
check your pocket for the remaining dollar. [100]
