Question

A lady walks into a store and steals a $100 bill from the register without the owner’s knowledge. She comes back 5 minutes later and buys $70 worth of goods with the $100 bill. The owner gives her $30 in change. How much did the owner lose?

Answer 1

The lady stole a total of $100 dollars.

1st: Steal $100

2nd: Spend $70 for $70's worth of goods (still has $70)

3rd: get $30 back

$70 worth of goods + $30 = $100
