How much did he lose?

Saw this on another site and it blew me away how many people gave the wrong answer.

$200

100 bucks. The purchase was a separate transaction that had nothing to do with the theft. IMO. May be looking at it wrong

I do think $100 is the politically correct Answer


But she’s a thief. So eff her.

I say $200 because she used stolen money to buy the grocieries and then get change back...she must be a politician cause she steals to steal again...

Depends on the COGS.

You're not wrong about many people getting it wrong.


Combine them into one transaction and it's clearer.

She buys $70 worth of groceries, pays with $100. Gets $30 change.

Then steals her $100 bill back.

I have no idea how political correctness factors in?

That’s how I see it too.

$100 is the correct answer, but I find it damned interesting the amount or people that see it as $200

$100 is it. He made money on the goods. 70 didn't cost him 70. You write the 100 off and start over. She paid for the groceries. She stole the $100 not the groceries.

Wait until all these young people start voting. They can't do simple math anymore.
