You run a shop and someone came in and stole $100 without your attention.

The person came back and used the same money to buy $60 worth of items from your shop and you gave him a change of $40.

How much money have you lost?

Explain your answer so we know you didn't do ya googles.

If it's a 100$ bill that was stolen ans he happened to come back to buy 60$ worth of merchandise whilst receiving 40$ change. The original amount lost by the store would be 100 due to him stealing that without your attention.. Why? Because him coming back to purchase would be the same as a random individual doing the same which would incur no losses but because he did take a 100 previously the cash would be short that amount . The end

If you want to be technical [40$ cash/60$ merch]

The owner lost:

• The $100
• The opportunity cost of having the $100 , such as interest, cash reserves, or other opportunities
• Trust in humanity

He may also be due damages like an apology or extra compensation on top of the return of the $100

I bet legal and accounting brehs can come up with all sorts of other aspects to this...

$200

because he stole $100 cash from the store then came back and bought took $60 of goods and got $40 in change from the store . In total the store lost $100 cash (the first time) and another $60 in goods and $40 in cash (second time). Therefore, the shop keeper lost $200

No
You're dumb. Write the problem as a math variable.

Guys loses 100 dollars = -100
Guy gains 60 dollars back from the stolen money but loses 60 from giving away merchandise so it evens out back to the original -100.
Guy gives 40 back in change so now it's at -140



Total loss= 140

He took a $100 plus the $40 in change u moron.

Learn math before u come in here like u feeling special. Write it out u idiot.

He took $100

-100

He came back and gave $60 back but took $60 in merchandise in return. That means it equals out to zero so therefore we are still at -100.

Register In return gives him an extra $40 as change. Now we are at -140.

learn math and then kill yourself.

-100 +60-60+40= -140

fukking idiot

Forgot about this thread. Stopped reading past post 100. nikkas was really arguing for 9 pages(50pp) about this?

Math was my worse subject and the anwser is obvious to me.

Most the nikkas saying something other than $100 wasn't trolling either.

60 dollars worth of finished goods is the same as 60 dollars worth of sales which is the same as.... 60 dollars.

The thief just exchanged 60 cash with $60 of product, which means the store owner is down $100 worth of shyt. Part of which are goods part of which is cash.

I kinda want to read the whole thread to see what self righteous "smart posters" to take a little less seriously.

If we talking strictly money isn't it $40?

The thief takes $100 at first, so the shop is down 100. He comes back and buys $60 worth of of stuff but pays with the 100, so the till is now balanced again, then you give him $40 dollars change so the till should now be $40 down on what it was to begin with. That's no including the worth of the items of the question is asking strictly how much Money as in cash was lost.

If we including the item worth isn't it $100 dollars cause again after everything we compare the situation now to what it was before the thief ever walked into the store in the first place, the store is $40 dollars lighter in the till and missing $60 worth of goods

About to reread this whole thing for laughs once I get a chance

So if someone runs up in a corner store in steals $100 worth of cigarettes the store owner lost no money? Especially considering that customers who would have spent $100 on the products aren't able to now?

I have some accounting training so maybe it comes easier to me but lost $100 dollars worth of stuff. The $60 of items he spent of your own money made me miss out in $60 cash of someone elses money.


The $60 of product is the same as 60 dollars cash as far as a business owner is concerned.

It's a riddle, in riddles the wording is meant to intentionally confuse, which is why I said if when it says money it is talking strictly what it lost in the form of cash...

Homey answered that shyt like a philosophy professor or trial lawyer

"Your honor...what was lost wasn't merely $100...what was lost was trust in self. Trust of man. Peace of mind. An ability to move in this world with confidence that everything will, in fact, be OK. That in itself is truly priceless.

However, we are here today to settle on an amount to make this man, this business owner, this pillar of the community, whole. As estimated by our accountant specialists from the Coli Accountancy Limited, our business owner lost over $14.3 million dollars on this transaction"
