Gladz Mascot Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 You saw a shirt worth 97 dollars Since you don't have cash, you borrowed 50 from your mom, and 50 from your dad So, you have 100 Since the shirt is 97 dollars, you still have 3 dollars left You gave 1 dollar to your mom, and 1 dollar to your dad, and you kept one for yourself Question: Now you owe 49+49= 98 Plus the one you have, 98+1= 99 WHERE'S THE MISSING DOLLAR??????

Memphus Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 You're adding a negative and a positive. Debt is negative wealth. You OWE $98 dollars, but you HAVE $1. So if you subtract that $1 from your debt, you only owe $97, which is contained in the value of the shirt. Link to comment
