I saw this on discord and I feel like an idiot but I’m so confused.
*”Question for you guys If I borrow $50 from my mom and $50 from my dad to purchase an object worth $97. Since I would have $3 change I would give one to my mom and one to my dad and keep one my self
So I still owe my mom $49 and my dad $49 that means I owe $98 counting the one I have makes is $99 where did the other $1 go?”*
In: Mathematics
Everything in that sentence is logically correct until “counting the one I have makes is $99”. Why would you add the amount you owe with the amount you have? If I have 1,000 and I owe you 500, does the sum of 1500 have any significance at all?
