So suppose you have 50$

You spent 20$ so now your balance 30$
You spent 15$ so now your balance 15$
You spent 9$ so now your balance 6$
You spent 6$ so now your balance 0$

Now add up the total spent money and you get 50
Now add up the total balance and you get 51

Explain the extra 1$

It's a paradox. Adding remainders is not logical.
Take this for instance :
You have 50$
You spent 0$, so your balance is 50$
Now spend 0$ again. You have 50$ as balance.
Adding up the balances as done by the op doesn't make any sense bcz here you'd get 50+50 = 100$ as balance(?)
It holds no valid logic therein.

30-20 = 10
9-0 = 9
That is the extra 1 dollar
And don't act smart, you added the balance after each transaction
