Another math riddle....

Dey, this is a old skool maths riddle. I remember my friend ever asked me in the early 90s b4.
Tricky thou but think harder, u will get the answer.
 
Not think harder but think broader. Don't be cocooned within rigid paradigms. :)
 
Alamak...forgotten to read the tricky fine lines just like those blood-sucking banks selling those complicated high yield financial products..hahaha!
 
Simple bookkeeping solves the problem.

After you bought shirt, you have shirt worth $97 plus cash $3 and liability of $100.
You pay back $2, so you have shirt worth $97 plus cash $1 and liability of $98.

So you are trying to mislead everybody by adding the cash $1 to the liability of $98. The $1 cash which is your asset must always be deducted from the $98 liability and never added.
