So why did you say the total loss was $160 when I asked the first question?
Exactly breh you only take into account what you're given, you're just admitting here that you used numbers you pulled out your azzThe total loss is Approx $160 because the price at which the shopkeeper purchased the goods from a supplier is not stated.

Damn math is not some of you guy's strong points.

lolNumbers I pulled out my ass?
Just because your feeble mind cannot think outside the limitations of the question and grasp the concept that this is a SHOP, you resort to this bullshyt
It's clear you and many other mental midgets cannot understand that a shop is run on a profit/loss system where the shopkeeper at his neutral point is already at a loss as he's previously paid the supplier for the product in order to break even and then gain a profit.
The shopkeeper paying for his own merchendise twice doesn't make him break even. It means he's paid out of his own pocket for the goods he already paid for initially.
The $60 is a presumed value because the initial price of the product prior to the profit margin being added on is not defined.
U mad as shyt that you're mind is limited af.![]()
Breh
You're looking at it from the perspective of the thief.
The shopkeeper loses more than just the $100 due to HIS money being used to pay for the merchendise again.
So the shopkeeper loses approx -$160 but add the profit, which is just less than $160.
You fail to realise that the shopkeeper has MOST likely paid for his product already from a supplier.
The total loss is Approx $160 because the price at which the shopkeeper purchased the goods from a supplier is not stated.
This idiot even crossed out the word "bought" in his explanation when it's at the very center of the math![]()

I don't understand this concept of it being HIS money. He has it until he doesn't anymore. He loss $100, which is later returned in exchange for $60 worth of goods, and $40 worth of cash. That's it. Anything else about how much the shopkeeper originally spent is speculation, and you don't solve math problems by speculating extra info.
80
he took 100 = -£100
then 'put 60 back' =£-40
You gave him 40 in change = £-40
which mean you down £80

The irony in this![]()
-100(stolen money)
+60 (money back due to merchandise)
-60(merchandise loss. U can't make a profit off your own money. You're basically swapping the $60 in cash for the merchandise. This is where people get confused)
-40 (change given back)
-100+60-60-40= -140
That's why it's a trick question which is what I'm getting at. U can get a totally different answer writing it out as a math variable in a different way which most of these questions require u to do so. I said my piece so I'm off to sleep. Just gotta wait for OP to reply
Yea it's an even trade so even equals zero.
So he started off at -100,then the even trade happens (+60-60), then what happens next?
He gives the guy 40 dollars in change as a result.
Thank u for proving my point.
Write it out like I said from the beginning
-100+60-60-40= 140
Done.
