Shirts, $97 …

You saw a shirt for $97.

Having no cash, you borrowed $50 from your mum and $50 from your dad.

$50 + $50 = $100.

You bought the shirt, and had $3 change.

You gave your dad $1 and your mum $1. You have a dollar in your pocket.

You now owe your mum $49 and your dad $49.

$49 + $49 = $98. Add the $1 you still have = $99.

Where is the missing dollar?
