Pls help with the tricky trivia?
Jen wants to buy a blouse worth USD97... she doesnt have money so she asked 50 from her dad and another 50 from her mom...
She went back to the mall and bought the blouse.. How many was her change? US$3.00... She gave USD1 to her dad and another USD1 to her mom...
She borrowed money from her dad and mom worth 50 each but since she returned USD1 each, 49 x 2 = USD98 then from the change of USD3 she still has USD1 left from her pocket after returning USD1 each to her mom and dad....That was a total of USD99, where did USD1 go?
lets just take it this way,
Since Jen returned USD1 each to his mom and dad, she now only has a borrowed amount of USD49 each from his parents, amounting to USD98, not USD100 anymore. The blouse costs USD97 and she still has USD1 left in her that would total to USD98 not USD100!
thats it! fair %26amp; square...
gee?..

The one dollar she has left is part of the $49 that it cost each her Mom and Dad. The dollar they each got back ($2 total) is the other two dollars. $49+$49+$2 = $100
