You see a shirt/blouse worth £97. Since you dont have any cash, you borrow £50 from your mum and £50 from your Dad, So you have £100.
Since the shirt is £97 u have £3 left, You return £1 to your Mom and £1 to your Dad and you are left with £1 for yourself.
Now you owe your parents £49 each.
49+49=98 + 1 = £99. Where did the other pound go ??  |

Ok the answer is........
There is no "other" pound. After borrowing £100, you used up £97 for the shirt/blouse. You returned a pound to each of your parents, so you owe £98 total. This £98 should correspond to the £97 (for the shirt/blouse) plus the £1 that you have with you. |
