You saw a shirt that is worth PHP 97.00, Because you don't have any money you borrowed 50 from your Mom and 50 from your Dad. So now you have PHP 100.00, since the shirt only cost 97.00 you still have 3 pesos change. You returned 1 peso to your mom and you also return 1 peso to your dad so you only owe each of them PHP 49.00 and the remaining 1 peso you keep to yourself

Here is the question:

PHP 49.00 (you owe your mom)
+
PHP 49.00 (you owe your dad)
__________________________
PHP 98.00
+
PHP 1.00 (that's with you)
__________________________
PHP 99.00

Isn't it suppose to be PHP 100.00? where did the one peso go?

i think i will divide the 3 peso equally to my father and mother.

they will have 1.50 each of them.

so i only owe 48.50 each of them.

48.50 + 48.50 = 97

97 + 1.50 + 1.50 = 100
