Another Puzzle

[Windsor]

You had no money but there was a deal to buy a guitar for $100.00. 2 of your good friends were good enough to loan you the money. You take the cash and bought the guitar but ask for a discount. The seller then sold you at $97.00.

You return $1.00 each to your 2 friends and kept $1.00. Now you owe your 2 friends S$49.00 each which totals $98.00. If you have $1.00 and owe your friends $98.00 where is the missing $1.00?

The $1 you kept is a smokescreen.
You borrowed $100, paid back $2, and now you owe $98.
That's all. You never had any money in the first place and the $1 is irrelevant.

But paying another $1.00 to one of the friends, total $99.00 means $1.00 missing since you borrowed $100.00. Right?
