Question

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

Answer 1

bag costs 97 rs .
$97 \div 2$
not
$96 \div 2$

then why are saying this. you have not counted 0.5 rs of each . means 1 rs. that is why you are missing 1 rs.
