I borrowed $50 from mum and $50 from dad to buy a bag costing $97. after the purchase, i had $3 left. i returned $1 to dad and $1 to mum, and reserved $1 for myself. i now owe $49+$49=$98 plus the $1 i reserved for myself, which is $99. where is the missing $1?

You actually own your mom and dad 49.5 dollars each.
