This is pissin me offff so much. So hopefully it does your head in to hahha

You see a £97 shirt, but don't have any cash, so you borrow £50 from your mum & £50 from your dad = £100.
You buy the shirt, have £3 change so give mum £1, dad £1 & keep the other £1 for yourself.
You now owe mum £49, dad £49 so £49+£49 = £98 & your £1 makes £99 so where is the missing £1?

Help me out !

    £49+£49 = £98

    Less the £1 you have = £97.

    Which is what you paid for the shirt.

    The proper maths to stop you paying back too little or too much is here:

    £100.00 - £97.00 = £3.00

    £97.00 / 2 = £48.50

    £3.00 / 2 = £1.50

    £48.50 + £1.50 = £50.00

    £50.00 x 2 = £100.00

    Basically shirt = £97 you pay back £1.50 each instead of nicking £1.00 from your family, then you have £48.50 each to pay back.
