You owe $98, and have one left. Not sure what the issue is. it's not supposed to add up to $100 (why are we adding his debts with his money anyway?). Before he paid anything back he owed 100, and had 3 = 103. Paying only one of them $1 back would be 49+50+2=101, paying all $3 back would be 49+48=$97, etc.

It's just adding arbitrary numbers to get a result that seems unexpected. The only logical thing you would do would be to subtract the numbers, for a result of -$97, which is how much money he has.

Ty. I knew there was a problem but my brain wasnt computing.

I'm having a hard time finding an affordable pair of earbuds (10-30 bucks) that doesn't suck horribly. I'm looking for the kind that plug into your ears, not the hanging kind that come with ipods, because those hurt my ears a lot for some reason. Anyone have a preferred earbud with good sound quality? I'm not looking for Bose here but I'd at least like the sound quality to be as good as possible for the price range.

These are decent:

Ebay or Amazon

No. It's far more simple than this. What you paid out from the loan from both parents averages $48.50. After paying back a dollar to each, you are left with $99 in expenditures and $1 in assets. The picture is just flat out bad math.

Is there an easy way to play my mp3 player (sansa clip+) through my car's audio without having to buy a new cd player/head unit? It's all stock from '95

[hey]

No.

If you have a cassette player you could get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Audi...2585599&sr=8-2

If not, you could get an FM transmitter like this: http://www.amazon.com/MMC-Wireless-T...2585734&sr=1-1

Both will sound shitty.

lol, I appreciate the honesty

Actually the cassette ones aren't that bad. The FM receptors have problems but the cassette ones are usually okay, at least in my experience.

Quite the opposite from my experience. My friend had a cassette one and it sounded like shit all the time. Recently, my girlfriend and I went on a road trip and used an FM transmitter, and aside from a few parts of the trip where we had some interference, it sounded crystal clear.

I have the se experience as above.y wife's cassette quality sucks. I have an fm transmitter I got for $13 and it sounds great. Occasionally you pass through an area where they are transmitting on your dial and sound quality drops but you can move a little bit on the dial and it goes back to clear.

It was the opposite of my expectations based on what I'd read. I'm getting a second one for my wife now.

I got the Universal All in 1 on amazon for the iPhone. Not sure if t accepts other players. Very handy because it's also a good stand for using the phone's gps.

Depends on where you are. fm transmitters will vary from working perfectly to not working at all. If you're in a major city, they're a waste of money. If you're in alabama or some place with 20 open channels, then you won't have a problem.

[madpersian]

This is true. I'm going into NYC with the car soon. I'm curious if it'll work or not. It works around Hartford and Stamford/Greenwich.

This fo' sho'. I have one I bought in 2006, and I love it. It works very well, but when I wanted to get a matching one for my wife a year ago, I found out the company doesn't make mine any more (that I can tell). I bought several from Best Buy afterwards, one at a time, and returned them all because they kept static on pretty much every channel I was on, and I'm in a fairly large city with a number of radio stations. Mine will get some static if you pick a channel that matches a local station, but when I visit my parents in BFE, the channels are all much clearer.

I just know that the next car I want to get will need to have the MP3 player port, or I'll have to get an aftermarket audio deck for it.

[madpersian]

That's oddly enough the single most important feature in a new car for me. I hate the look of custom radios so it's awesome to have it built into the car.
