POLL: MAN STEALS $100 FROM a STORE'S REGISTER. THEN HE BUYS $70 OF GOODS FROM THAT STORE & GETS $30 CHANGE. HOW MUCH DID THE STORE LOSE?

If the thief lives in a California city, he stole significantly LESS than he's legally allowed to steal, so the store has a net GAIN of $850.

Does anyone know the real answer?





It has to be $100, right?

Approach it this way, the thief presumably had zero money when he went in the store, and he had 30 dollars + the stores costs of the goods he stole. NOT the price the store charged him.

The price of 70 dollars on the goods the thief purchased WAS NOT the stores price, it was considerably lower, profit is how capitalism works, and is basically legalized theft. You CANNOT count the profit as being part of what the store lost.

Answer = 30 dollars + the value of the sold items minus the stores markup. Considerably less than 100 dollars.

Read the above

YOU FAILED TO INDICATE IF THE THIEF USED THE STORE'S MARKED $100 BILL OR HIS OWN $$$ FOR THE $70 PURCHASE.

IF HE USED THE STORE'S THE STORE WOULD LOSE -100-30 ALSO +70 STOLEN CAME BACK BUT STOLEN FUNDS USED TO PAY FOR 70 GOODS. SO 70 GOOD STOLEN.

IF HE USED HIS OWN UNMARKED 100 BILL, THE STORE WOULD LOSE -100.

Take the store out of it; and how everyone thinks a store gets money or profits or whatever. This is what is messing with people.




You steal $100 cash from your mom.

You decide to put the $100 back in her wallet in exchange for a $70 dollar gift card and $30 cash.


Moms is still out $100.

I think this is the answer

store:
-$100
-$70 in goods
-$30 in change

youths:
$70 returned

=>$130

lol... lol.... LOL

Your "Reasoning" is flawed, lamebrain.



I don't believe NASA landed men on the moon in 1969, and I don't believe the Earth is flat, in fact I KNOW it is a sphere because there is enough evidence of this fact that I can prove it to myself..

That's most of us, BTW.

160.00 and probably a 3.fitty tip

Exactly but I know what he is going for so I selected 200. 130 plus the goods which would be less than the 70 sold for but im pretty sure that's what OP was thinking.

Anyone has access to ChatGPT cause I don’t. That would be an interesting question for AI

100 dollars was lost out of one till, the cashier got fired because apparently the 100 wasnt realized that it was stolen, so now the store is paying out unemployment and whatever the cost is to hire a new employee and train them. The store wont see the 70 dollars of groceries as a loss, and his 30 dollars change is irrelevant at that point as that $100 is the initial theft.

You fuckin idiot. He left the store with $70 in good and $30 change.

I guess you can't figure out what 70+30 is

Unvaxxed too I bet

Is this what common core has done to you?

We're fucked lol

627 people let that sink in unable to solve a very simple logic problem.

Should also change you name to "TrulyEmptyMind" LOL

Ok comrade, LOL. Did you ever get your "repawations?"

Coverted that $100 that he stole to $70 in goods and $30 in left over cash...

$100 is the store's total loss.

The ONLY correct answer is 30 dollars + the stores PRICE on the goods it sold - the profit margin on those goods.

Less than a 100 dollars, considerable less.

Those chicks that were running BLM...they sure got theirs while selling you out, sucker.

I did say profit. Part of the stolen 100 was returned.

The question is "How much did the store lose"? Not some political munbo jumbo horseshit.

The reason this is confusing people is because there are two answers and a lot of people are thinking about from the guys perspective but the question specifically asks it in regards from the stores perspective.

The two answers are this

1.man’s perspective = he leaves with $100 worth of stuff regardless

2. Store’ perspective = they lost $100 and also lost a $70 item so they lose $170

How the hell are we 10pages in?

Thank you OP for showing the IQ level of the average anti-vaxxer.

I would like to thank you by making a donation of $100 to a charity of your choice.
