I Don't Get It

Top costs £97. Give £1 to mun + £1 to dad = £99. Add to that £1 you have = £100.

 

You borrow £50 from mum and £50 from dad and then gave them back £1 each so in total you borrowed from them is £49 each.
So £49 +£49= £98

You bought the top for £97 and kept £1 for yourself
So £97 + £1 = £98

 

Arrggghhhhh


You only ever borrowed £49 from each parent (£50 less the £1 returned) so the total borrowed = £98, not £100

The top cost £97 plus £1 you pocketed = £98

So there isn't a missing £2 or missing £1, or 50p, not even a penny, nowt, nothing, never was, never will be.
It's the way the question is worded, not the math.

 

That's a pity as the only other active post at the moment seems to be centred around blocked toilets.
