I has borrow 50 euro from Finito and 50 from Crystalin.

 

So i have 100 euros and i buy a t-shirt wich costs 97 euros.

 

I have 3uros left now.

 

I  give 1 euro to finito and 1 to crystalin so 1 reamins to me.

 

SO i owe them 49euro each.

 

That means 49+ 49= 98+ 1 euro from me = 99 euro

 

WHere is the that euro?

3 euro change.

Raule = 1

Crystalin = 1

Me = 1

 

I own you 49 both of you. 49+49=98

I already gave you 1 euro each one from the change. That's 2 euros. So 98+2=100

I have 1 euro too.

 

So 100+1=101 D:

100-97=3

48+49=97

+3 euros left

+1 euro to finito+1 to crystalia

49+50+1=100

50 from finito

50 from crystallin

 

 

You buy smth with 97 euros cost.

 

Ok, you have 3 euros.

 

You still owe 50 euros to both of them.

 

You give 1 to Finito, so you owe him 49.

You give 1 to Crystallin, so you owe him 49.

 

And 1€ remain to you.

 

If you payback Finito and crystallin, you won't keep that euro. You will give them 49+49 plus the 1 euro you gave them before =50 each.

There is no missing euro.

 

You borrowed two times 49 euro = 98, and spend 97 , and now have an extra pound to keep for yourself.

 

You are adding up what you owe, plus what you have which doesnt work, as there is no 100 . Once you give them the 1 back if you are adding up what you spent you should either add up 49 +49 = shirt + 1 change or if you are adding up what you borrowed originally that is 50+50 = shirt +3 change.

 

They are two difference equations cleverly put together to make it look like there is a missing pound.

 

Thanks google.
