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?

The $100 dollar bill goes back into the till.

No way to determine without knowing the actual store costs of the goods.

this

-100+70-30 = -60

The store loses 60

Looks like about 70% of glpers are retarded. Why am I not surprised

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

For the purpose of this poll, profit margins and other side / fringe related expenses are not taken into consideration.

:TRUMPMASKREMOVE:

store lost 60 dollars

yet you failed to give your answer

The correct answer is $100. This poll proves that the majority of people not only cannot do simple math, they can't follow simple instructions either.

This poll is really interesting, because the majority of GLP'rs had enough analytical thinking skills to avoid being shot up by those that wanted to depopulate them. But then this...

Switch to something simpler like...

If the cost of a bat and a baseball combined is $1.10 and the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, how much is the ball?

$100 because the store ended up not losing that $100 bill. It would be $200 only if it was spent at another store.

Here's a trickier accounting problem. The error is made in the 2nd to last sentence.

Three guests check into a hotel room. The manager says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the manager realizes the bill should only have been $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 as five one-dollar bills to return to the guests.

On the way to the guests' room to refund the money, the bellhop realizes that he cannot equally divide the five one-dollar bills among the three guests. As the guests are not aware of the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 back and keep $2 as a tip for himself, and proceeds to do so.

As each guest got $1 back, each guest only paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop kept $2, which when added to the $27, comes to $29. So if the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?

So 100 that went to 100 in sales so there's 200 gone the moment the bill left the register 300 total loss

It's $100, moran. Assuming, the man paid with a $100 bill. The whole problem relies on assumptions, but there are some REALLY stupid answers here.

So 100 that went to 100 in sales so there's 200 gone the moment the bill left the register 300 total loss
