You still ow $49 to each, bruh. since you started with $100 and returned $2 and kept $1 thats all you had after purchasing

Step-by-step explanation:

you borrowed $50 from both so you have $100

after buying a $97 shirt, you have $3

but gave $1 back to each. so you have $1 which you kept.

so you borrowed $98

* since you gave the $1 back after purchasing. you had enough.
