You borrow $50 from your mum, $50 from your dad ($100) and purchase the item.
Of the $3 dollars change you give your mum $1 and your dad $1 and keep $1.
You now owe both mum and dad $49 each.

2x$49= $98 + the $1 you have = $99.

What happened to the $1.

You've got your maths "back to front".
You borrowed a NET $49 from each of mum and dad - total $98 - bought the item for $97 and have $1 left in your hand.
