Can anyone solve this?

I borrowed $50 from my friend 'A', and another $50 from friend 'B'
After that, I went into a shop and bought a $97 Nike shoe.
Giving the cashier 2 $50 which i borrowed, the cashier returned me $3 as change.
Then, On my way home i spent $1 on Ice-Cream..
I figured I have no use of the remaining $2, so I returned 'A' $1, and returned 'B' $1
After which, I owe both 'A' and 'B', $49.00 each..

But then something strike me, If i owe them $49.00 each.. Adding them up will sum up to $98.00..
Counting in what I already paid them, the remainder $2 which i have left, would sum up to $100.
BUT.. Didn't I spend $1 on Ice Cream? Where did that $1 come from? =x

Lots of Love

woudn't that be the money that you borrowed? sins 100-97 =3
and u used $1 to buy ice cream and you left to and you gave a and b 1$1 each..and you have to pay them $49 back each to unless you had $3 and gave them each 1.50 ^^ that makes 48.50 ^^
