My aunt and uncle give 100 dollars. I had another 5 dollars. How much money did I really have?\u201d is $10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an accepted answer, but not everyone agrees with it.<br>This is because the riddle is based on tenses and not mathematics. It\u2019s asking \u201cHow much money did I really have?\u201d This is past tense. It\u2019s not asking \u201cHow much money do I currently have?\u201d<br>So basically, the riddle is asking how much money you had, not about the amounts that people give or gave you, so you should only pay attention to the two parts of the riddle that say, \u201cI had 5 dollars&#8221; and &#8220;I had another 5 dollars&#8221;.<br>The way the question is worded encourages you to question how much money you had before being given some by the relatives.<br><br>So to sum up: <strong>The answer to the riddle is 10 dollars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Did you come to this page to find the answer to the riddle above?<br>Remember to check out these viral riddles as well so you know the answer to them too if you should need them:<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/riddles\/funny-riddles\/sam-and-sarah-saw-seven-sharks\/\">Sam and Sarah saw seven sharks<\/a><br>or<br><a href=\"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/riddles\/funny-riddles\/1-rabbit-saw-6-elephants\/\">1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while going to the river<\/a><br>also check out (I promise you will laugh)<br>???? <a href=\"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/jokes\/funny-jokes\/10-jokes-that-are-actually-funny\/\">10 Jokes that are actually funny<\/a> ????<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many have seen the riddle \u201cI had 5 dollars my mom gave me 10, while my dad gave me 30 &#8230; <a title=\"I had 5 dollars my mom gave me 10\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/riddles\/funny-riddles\/i-had-5-dollars-my-mom-gave-me-10\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about I had 5 dollars my mom gave me 10\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1601,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[92],"tags":[1382],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1596"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1596\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jokes-and-riddles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
