Mom - 1pound + .50pounds
Dad - 1pound + .50pounds
The 1pound is the pound you gave to each parent, the .50 is the one you kept split in half.
Each parent now has 1.50pounds.
You now owe each parent 48.50pounds.
Mom - 1.50 + 48.50 = 50
Dad - 1.50 + 48.50 = 50
= 100pounds
There is no missing pound, it's a trick question.
