Where did it went?

I needed 97pesos for a school project. I borrowed 50 pesos from a friend and another 50 from a cousin. To make my loan lesser, I returned to both of them one peso each from my change of 3. That means that I only owe them 49 pesos each. If I will have an audit and sum it all, 49+49 = 98 + the remaining 1 peso in my hand is 99....where have my one peso gone?

    If you really want to go wonky, look at it this way. You owe a total of 98 pesos, plus you gave back two pesos, plus you have one peso in your hand:

    98 + 2 + 1 = 101. Where did the extra peso come from?

    cousin borrowed u 50 pesos

    friend borrowed u 50 pesos

    u got 100 pesos from cousin & friend

    ur debt to your cousin and friend is 100

    *****************

    u returned cousin 1 peso = debt to cousin = 49 (50-1)

    u returned friend 1 peso = debt to friend =49 (50-1)

    debt to both friend and cousin = 98 (49+49)

    u currently have 98 pesos with u (100-2)

    ur debt to your cousin and friend is now 98 pesos.

    *****************************

    u need 97 pesos for a school project, and u have a remaining 1 pesos in your hand.

    97+1=98. and 98 pesos is the money u owe.

    so what do u mean by where have ur one peso gone?

    I think the expression you are looking for is, "Where did it go?"

    If you borrow 50 pesos from two people, give them back one each, then you have 98 pesos in your hand. End of story.

    I've seen this riddle before, but you have not described it properly.

    49+49+1 to your friend + 1 to your cousin = 100 so what are you talking about???

    ps 100 = 97 school project + 1 to your friend + 1 to your cousin + 1 in your hand.

    wtf???? i don't get your question.
