Mind Boggling

Okok this is something Gerald asked me earlier.

You borrow $50 from boyA and $50 from boyB, you have $100.
You buy a TV which costs $97 and you are left with $3.
You give $1 back to boyA and $1 back to boyB and you have a $1 left.
But you still owe boyA and boyB $49 dollars each,49 x 2=$98.
But you only have a dollar left. So where did the $1 dollar go?

Interesting eh?

Anyone has the answer?

    Hehe. Read the question carefully and slowly. It's misleading in its wording. Try rephrasing and you'll see the 'missing' dollar.

    I've roughly figured it out...these kinds of questions really give me those unnecessary sleepless nights.Thanks for commenting!
