So you think you can answer this?

It's because you aren't actually using $49 + $49 from your mom and dad. If the shirt is $97, then that means they are contributing $48.5 each. So if you pay them $1 each, then you still owe them .5 + .5 = $1 and that money is with you, so

(mom's 48.5) + (dad's 48.5) + (1 dollar back to mom) + (1 dollar back to dad) + (1 dollar which you have).

Is that where the 'missing' $1 goes?
