9. The Missing Dollar
This is a really interesting math problem on our list of easiest math problems that look hard. The question goes like this: “I saw a shirt for $97, I borrowed $50 from dad and $50 from mom. I bought the shirt for $97 with $3 change in hand $100-$97 = $3. Now I gave $1 to dad and $1 to mom and kept $1 to myself. Now I owe my dad $49 my mom $49, and I have $1($49+$49+$1 = $99). But where did $1 go, as I had $100, to begin with? This is really a fun math problem to solve. It is not about adding up the numbers rather the observation, get it?
