Basically the shirt was free because mom and dad paid for it. They each thought it was only $49.

The kind of person who has no money of their own - and then pockets the spare dollar.

Any further explanation of how this applies to today's USA will have me banished to the club.

There is a debt of $98. (Borrowed $100, gave $2 back.) Of that borrowed $100, $97 went to the retailer, $2 back to the parents, and $1 into the kids pocket.

The "question" substitutes the amount of the debt for the amount spent, leaving $1 unaccounted for.
BINGO.........

Kinda like the Federal Government playing with numbers.........Criminal.
