Keep it simple . . . 🙂

Mom = $50

Dad = $50

You = $0

After borrowing:

Mom = $0

Dad = $0

You = $100

After buying:

Mom = $0

Dad = $0

You = $3 + $97/shirt

After repaying:

Mom: $1

Dad: $1

You: $1 + $97/shirt

As you can see, in each phase there is a total net worth of $100.

The $1 you have left should be SUBTRACTED from your debt to see your net, not added.

This is a common word problem scheme trying to confuse the math, but in actuality if you keep track of signs, it’s not difficult to see. You have $98 of debt which yields you $1 and a shirt worth $97.

Best of luck!

You got to do accounting and/or math correctly to get the correct answer.

RE Can anyone genius out there answer this?

you want to buy a shirt worth 97 bucks (just for example) , but you dont have any money. you borrowed 50 bucks from ur mom and 50 from your dad. so now you bought the shirt and you have a change of 3 bucks. you gave back $1 to your mom and $1 to your dad. So now you owe your mom and dad 49 bucks…. and you have $1 left to yourself.

here’s the iq test:
to solve this all, if you add your debts to your mom and dad, you would have 98 bucks (49+49) and when you add the $1 left to you, you would have 99 bucks……..

where did the $1 go?
isnt it, it’s supposed to be 100?

49 + 49 = 98

plus the one you have yourself .. but then you gave two to your parents, which would mean you had 101 to start with?

Oh my god, so many questions ?

And btw sorry, no offense, just kidding 🙂
