$100.

Let’s play.🤣

Someone steals a $100 bill from a store register, then buys $70 worth of goods at that store using the $100 bill and gets a $30 balance.

How much money did the store lose?

When you add the losses together ($100 stolen, $70 worth of goods given away, and $30 returned as change), the store is down $200. However, since they've technically gotten their own $100 bill back (in the form of the purchase), the net loss is actually $100.

I'd say closer to $70, since that's around what the store paid for the goods in the first place.

Would the person have spent the $70 in the store if they hadn’t stolen the $100? What profit did the store make from the $70 of sold goods (including overhead). Would other people have bought those goods if the thief hadn’t?

This is how my brain works. It didn’t help me in math classes. 😊
