What happen to the $1?

XiiaooBoon SG

I want to buy a tee that cost $97, So i Borrow from my mum $50 and from my dad $50,

After i brought the tee, i left with $3, i used $1 to buy green tea and return my mum and dad $1 each, in the end i owe my mum $49 and my dad $49,

BUT then. $49+$49 = $98 ( The total amount i owe)

$98 + $1 (the green tea) = $99.

What happen to the $1?

Domo Kun SG

Is this a problem sum ?

XiiaooBoon SG

Can like that say ?

Jiani SG

lol

well it’s actually 98 + 2 ( the one from your mom and the one from your dad) = 100

if u count with the one left to you it’s 97+3 so it’s still 100

Jiani SG

There is no missing $1.

100 - 97 = 3
97/2 = 48.50
48.50 X 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 100

this is just your own analogy mixing and trying to confuse people.

you spend 98dollas, 97 on shirt and 1 on green tea. that is no doubt. 98 divide by two you owe your parents 49 each. period. what's so difficult? you only add herea nd tehre to confuse people only.

Aneslayer SG

Jiani was wrong.... The problem was caused by a erroneous "+1" to $98....

Tee= $97

Borrowed money = 2 x $49 = $98

Borrowed money - Tee cost = $1 which you used to buy green tea.

No, i was asked by my friends and was very confused and want to ask the sgforumers :)

The $1 for the green tea was counted twice.

Should not be borrowed $49 x 2 = $98 ($97 + $1), and then add the $1 again to get $99

Should be $49 x 2 = $98 ($97 + $1). End of the story.

Or $50 x 2 = $100 - $2 = $98 ($97 + $1). End of the story.

same apply to other tih==higns in life. people who continue tokin here and ther does not mena they good toker, its the contents you have to listen carefully. no one is a good talker. but one who knows what he is doing, toalks about what he does best, alwasy perceived as a good toker. so really when i say the thing si do good at, i am not a good talker really. now when i go interview i never prpare myself. come shit will i just answer what i know, what comes to my heart.
