A puzzle. Where the extra one ruble came from?
Well I have a puzzle for you.
A boy borrowed 50 rubles from his parents: 25 from each.
The boy went to a store and bought something for 45 rubles. So now he had 5 rubles.
On the way home he met his friend and loan him 3 rubles.
At home he returned 2 rubles to his parents: 1 ruble for each. So it had to return them 48 rubles.
And then his friend came and return him 3 rubles. So 48 plus 3 is 51 rubles.
The question is where the extra 1 ruble came from?

A puzzle. Where did the extra ruble come from?
Well, I have a puzzle for you.A boy borrowed 50 rubles from his parents: 25 from each.
The boy went to a store and bought something for 45 rubles. So, now, he had 5 rubles.
On the way home, he met his friend and loaned him 3 rubles.
At home, he returned 2 rubles to his parents: 1 ruble to each. So, he still had to return 48 rubles to them.
And then his friend came and returned his 3 rubles. So, 48 plus 3 is 51 rubles.
The question is: where did the one extra ruble come from?
*note: In English writing, it is generally frowned upon to begin a sentence with: (and, but, so, yet, because) the use is not grammatically correct, and a person can tell someone is uneducated or, at the very least, struggling with grammar.
The extra ruble is not extra at all. Since the boy still had to return 48 rubles to his parents, that number should be negative. In reality, the equation would be -48 plus 3 is -45; meaning he still has debt from his purchase.
Let me know if you need clarification, I would be happy to help!
