Crazy Math by desperatem(op): 4:30pm On Aug 09, 2012
Maths is crazy>=) I wants to buy a fone for 50k, so I borrowed 25k frm mum and 25 frm dad. Wen I went to buy d fone, I bought it for 45k meaning I am left wit 5k, I gave 1k back to my mom nd 1k to my dad, I am now left with 3k. Now I owe my parent 24k each. now 24+24 =48k + 3k (which I hav left)=51k now where did dat xtra 1k' came from since I only had 50khuh Answer now and get a recharge cardwink

Y

you can't add 48k to 3k
48k is debt
3k is cash at hand
2k is deposit
hence you are looking for 45k to add to d 3k you av at hand to pay mum and dad.
Thus 45k+3k+2k=50k
