Interesting Puzzle : Can you solve this mystery?
I saw a shirt for $97.
I borrowed $50 from mom and $50 from dad.
I bought the shirt and got $3 change.
I returned $1 to mom, and $1 to dad,
and kept $1 for myself.
Now I have to return $49 to mom
and $49 to dad.
$49 + $49 = $98 + my $1 = $99
Where did the other $1 go?

Answer of this puzzle is given below
Actually there is no mystery at all but a calculation mistake. Cost of the shirt is $97, so he has to return $49 to his mom and another $49 to his dad both equals to $98, which is a $1 more than the price of that shirt. That $1 he himself is holding.
