thats not simple math! thats more like a simple (dumb) person. to begin with he's dumb for buying a 97 dollar shirt!

$97 was borrowed, not $100 (after payback)

There is no missing $1.
When you paid back $2, you only owed $98.
The "your $1" is part of the $98 you still owe.
Cute, but flawed.

Try this one:
A proof that 2=1
Let r = s
multiply each side by r
r^2 = rs [that ^2 is an exponent; r squared]
subtract s^2 from each side
r^2 - s^2 = rs - s^2
factor
(r+s)(r-s) = s(r-s)
divide both sides by r-s
r+s = s
substitute s for r (remember r+s)
s + s = s
2s = s
divide both sides by s
2 = 1

What's wrong with this "proof"?
Answer when school gets out this afternoon.

$97 (shirt) + $2 (parents) + $1 (pilfer) = $100

He owes them $97 for the shirt- 48.50 Each

Gave them back $2- $1 each

Kept $1

97+2+1=100
