If Peter is to repay the remaining debt, it will be 49 shillings (John) + 49 shillings (James) = 98 shillings adding the 1 shilling Peter had remained with will make a total of 99 shillings. Where does the 1 shilling go?
@otienosmall This is how goldenberg scandal happened  if the shirt is costing 97/= and the amount to be borrowed is split equally, then both John and James are giving 48.5/= each (97/2). that leaves a balance of three shillings which Peter has. Rather than giing 48.5/=, they gave each 50/=/ 50 - 48.5= 1.5/=. 1.5/= x 2 = 3/= which is the change Peter has. No shilling is lost or missing. There is no other shilling Simple. 97+1+1+1=100

Can you name three consecutive days without using the words of the days of the week? In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen
