Personal Addtition #5


I came across this picture today while I was on facebook, and I honestly can't figure it out. I've been looking at it for 10 minutes and read it over a hundred times but I don't understand. Where is the missing dollar? Someone help me!!

  2. That is very weird! I tried to figure it out too. I even did the math too.. hmm. There's got to be an explanation. Maybe if you google it you'll get an explanation?

  3. Thats funny! I think it is actually just the way you look at it though. There really isn't a missing dollar, they just put it that way because they knew it would confuse people!

    I think it would be like this:

    Shirt: $97
    Mom: $1
    Dad: $1
    You: $1
    Total: $100

  6. Wouldn't it be 49+49+1+1+1 = 101$?
    The sum still doesn't match up but this seems right, because they never added the dollar they already gave to both parents
