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??????

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.
