Where's the missing dollar?

You saw a Ken Griffey rookie baseball card for $97. They're worth way more.

You didn't have the cash, so you borrowed $50 from your sister and $50 from your brother.

$50 + $50 = $100

You bought the shirt, and have $3 change left.

You gave your sister $1 and your brother $1 and kept the other $1 for yourself. Now you owe your sister $49 and your brother $49.

$49 + $49 = $98 + your $1 = $99

Where is the missing $1 ?​

technically you only owe $48.50 if you didn't spend the $1 you kept

the dollar you kept is still theirs
