90% fail it?

$100. I was gonna say $200 though

"steals a $100 bill from the register"

-100

"buys xx worth of goods with the $100 bill"

+100

"the owner gives her $30 in change"

-30

So:
-100
+100
-30

He really lost $30 after it was all said and done. However, everything after the 1st sentence was legal so he really lost $100

 

[mannyrs13]

What if it was a counterfeit bill and the goods were expired?

 

[Don Diego]

$30

 

[VertigoKnight]

What about $70 of merchandise?

Nevermind I saw your last sentence. I agree it was $100 although I got to it differently than you did.

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

What about $70 of merchandise?

The recovered the $100, but lost $70 worth of goods and $30 cash.

 

[No_bammer_weed]

It’s 100$....Don’t over think the details.

Think of it this way: the girl steals 100$...then she has a change of heart and puts the 100$ back in the register. But then she changes her mind again and steals 70$ worth of goods and 30$ of cash.

Either way you account for this problem the shop owner is out a bill.

Store owner lost 100. Then she took 70 in goods. (170) she gave him 100 (hes at 70) he gives her 30 back. She got him for 100$ chuck
