I saw a laptop of 97k
i borrowed 50k from mum
i borrowed 50k from my dad too making it 100k
i bought the laptop and i am with 3k
i gave my mum 1k,my dad 1k and kept 1k
to myself
i am now owing my mum 49k and dad 49k
（49k + 49k equals 98k +1k i kept to myself equals 99k, where is 1k missing） 1 Like 1 Share |

OJODEL10:The laptop is 97k meaning you first used 48,500 from each of your parents, if you give them 1k each, you owe them 500 extra. Because 48.5k + 1 is 49.5k not 50k each 2 Likes |

OJODEL10: Hi OJODEL, 1K is not really missing. There is a logical error in the question, whether intended or not, I don’t know. The question is calculating the debt out of a 100K, money should not be added unless the total amount of money that is to be paid has increased. The correct way to calculate his remaining debt is to minus the money he has paid from the money he is to pay and stop there, instead of then adding money back into what he has already paid. The missing 1K comes from that the child added an extra 1K to the money he is paying his parents. So instead of 100K total, he has 101K total now. Let me know if you need further clarifications. Thanks. |
