OK, all you Math wizards DC/ID needs your expertise; He's either $1.00 short or $1.00 over ...:help:

[Magyar]

DC/ID wants a pair of jeans that cost $97 and borrows $50 each from two friends...Bubba & Elson.

He buys the jeans and gets $3 back.

He gives Elson a dollar, and Bubba a dollar, and keeps $1 for himself.

Now DC owes Bubba & Elson $49 apiece.

But $49 plus $49 is $98; when you add the $1 DC kept, you get $99. Where's the missing dollar?

Even if you suggest that the other two dollars have already been given to Bubba & Elson which would add up to $100.00..now you have one extra dollar.

$50.00 - $1.00 = $49.00 ea.
$49.00 + $49.00 = $98.00
$97.00 + $1.00 = $98.00

Problem Solved The single dollar was added to the wrong column.
