So you borrowed $100 from your parents...

[alchemiss]

The 49 each is how much you still owe each of your parents, because you gave them each a dollar back already.

But seriously, that equation is dumb. Where do you get $49 from?

he got 100 from his parents
owes 50 each to mom & dad
spent 97 and has 3 in change
gave 1 dollar back to each
now owes mom & dad 49 each
has 1 dollar left
49+49 = 98

i think thats what OP is trying to get at

Op can't count to potato.

Nevermind I get it already , this pretty much explains it .

now you only owe each parent $49 , well really you need to come up with $48.50 each, because the dollar
you kept still goes back to them...

Well I think that too , i think thats what OP is trying to say 

Mom and dad both pitched in 50 bucks each to make 100 for the son , right ?

Wait nevermind Im lost , who buys a shirt for 97 bucks in the first place ? 

for real. you couldn't have chosen something like shoes or jeans?

$49 + $49 = $98 + your dollar = $99.

Where's the extra dollar?

There is no extra dollar

This is just one of those old riddle type things.

Which you butchered horribly btw.

A colleague hit us with the same damn question in our team chat the other day.  SMH for posting this damn nonsense.
