Its just the way you look at it.
You took $100.00 and then returned $2.00 so effectively you only borrowed $98.00 to begin with. Less $97.00 spent leaves $1.00 in your pocket.
The purchase is not relevant to the debt.

you still have 100 dollars. 97+3=100

You owe $98. You have $1. How does this equate to $99 of debt? You have a $97 shirt and $1. Which means you owe $98.

Noooooo! This has been on here too many times. Okay here goes....
Just think about it this way:
The money you still owe Jeff and Jessica does not apply to your $97 purchase.
$97 +3= $100

WHY NOT JUST GIVE THEM 1.50 EACH,THEN PAY THE REMAINDER LATER
48.50+48.50=97.00+ 3.00= 100 DOLLARS
