Where have the 1 Peso Gone?

I borrowed P50 (fifty pesos) from Jacob and another P50 (fifty pesos) from Ronald, so that would gave me a total of P100 (one hundred pesos) borrowed money. Now, I went to the Mall and bought a t-shirt worth P97 (ninety seven pesos) , the cashier gaved me P3 (three pesos) change.

Thinking that I could lessen my debt a bit from Jacob and Ronald, I came up an idea to return P1 (one peso) to each of them as my advance pay. What's left on me now is only P1 (one peso) , since I returned them P1 (one peso) each. For this, my debt would now be reduced to only P49 (fourty nine pesos) to both of them.

Adding the two P49 (fourty nine pesos) would amount to P98 (ninety eight pesos) as my new debt total. If I add the P1 (one peso) left from me then that would make P99 (ninety nine pesos), the question now "where have the 1 peso gone?" to justify the total of P100 (one hundred pesos) I borrowed from them a while back. What do you think have the P1 (one peso) gone?

  4. Hahaha tricky nga question! actually wala nawala ang 1. Ang question mao nag palibog.

    diba nag bayad ka og 1 kada isa..

    ang utang nimo sa ila 49 nlng...

    tag 97 mn ang t-shirt so 49x2=98

    natural ang piso naa ra sa imo

    98-97 = 1...wala siya nawala naa ra sa imo

    dili na kinahanglan i addd sa 98 ang piso kay wala na mana labot sa utang...isa pa lahi2 nga tao imong nautangan...

    lisod e explain...pero basta in-ana...

    Ang pangutana gyud mao ni "Unsay brand sa t-shirt ric? unsa pud klase nga color?
    Asa mn nimo gipalit? sa mall sa kilid lng ba? kinsay kauban nimo ato nga time? unsa name sa cashier nga nag sensenlyo? gwapa ba siya? unsa pud ka oras nka uli sa inyo balay? pag abot nimo duna bay pagkaon nga nka andam?

    yeah that question really stuns big time dude lols. you have a point there jigs, it's possible that i've bought a yosi at the kanto but that doesn't convinced me enough because the price of yosi now is P2/stick and isaw i guess it's P3 or more nowadays hehehe ^_^

  8. tama c jacob... ang question mao nagpalibog... mao ni akong pagka math... hehehe...

    97 ang tshirt.

    97 divided by 2 = 48.5 (mao na ang nagasto sa tag 50 na borrowed nmo)

    nya naa ka kambyo 3. bayad nmo ang 1 balik.

    so 48.5 plus 1 = 49.5

    49.5 times 2 = 99

    99 + 1 (sa imo) = 100

    sakto ba? pagshur oi! hehehe

  12. Total amount = 100
    49 + 49 = 98 -->Remaining debt after the 2 piso was paid back.


    I want to prove that the piso could be in your pocket by assuming to cut 1 piso to 100 from the cash in hand and put it in your pocket.

    Therefore,,,cash in hand= 99
    Cash on pocket = 1 piso
    ---------------
    100

    Buying the tshirt given the cash in hand(99Php):
    99-97= 2

    Paying 1 piso each:

    2-2 = 0 Cash in hand.

    But the cash in the pocket is still 1 piso.

    Isn't it magic? No it is just an illusion. There are illusions in mathematics that only the rules of Math can prove it wrong.LOL.

    This is also a good example of "mathematical illusion".
