You would actually owe your parents $49.50 each or you would owe one of them $48 and the other $49
LOL WUT?
math done(50+50)-97=3, 97/2=48.5,(48.5+1)2+1=100
For people who can’t do maths or logic. 97+3=100. 49+49=98, +2 that
You don’t owe each parent 49 and 49 because you kept a dollar of their money after you split the $3. The dollar you keep...
The government stole it
Maybe the clerk accidentally gave you bleem dollars in change.
