This is my first post in the meme thread as I don’t like to see it cluttered up with chit chat, but some of you are seriously way off base with the store problem. Rephrase the problem.
1. Person A steals $100 from the cash register of a store. How much did the store lose?
Answer=$100.
2. Person B enters the store and buys some stuff, pays, and the store makes change. What the heck does that have to do with person A stealing the $100?
Answer=nothing.
It is completely and totally irrelevant to the store (and the problem) if person A and B are the same person. It is also irrelevant where the money to buy the goods came from.
The correct answer is the store has just lost $100. Subsequent transactions are not relevant, nor is the source of the funds used to pay for those transactions.
Try it another way and reverse the order. Someone buys some stuff from a store. 10 minutes later someone steals $100 from the store. How much is the store out because of the theft?
Answer=$100.

Read the post closer. It is irrelevant if person A and B are the same person.

The answer is that the store lost $30 in money.
The thief took $100 in money and returned $70 in money to pay for the goods purchased. A net money loss of $30.
The question does not ask the total value of the loss. The question asks how much MONEY was lost.

You're all wrong. The correct answer can't be calculated from the information given. The store didn't pay $70 for the merchandise sold for $70. They made a profit margin on it that has not been disclosed.

It says so right in the first sentence. What he did with it after that is irreverent.

I sometimes flatter myself as a straight thinker, but I sure bamboozled myself on the stolen money.
Can we get back to memes now?

It says so tight in the first sentence. What he did with it after that is irreverent. It was definitely irreverent but certainly is relevant They stole MY $100. They illegally converted stolen property into stolen goods and cash, proceeds of ill gotten gains from ME. Had they not shown up I would have $130 cash in the drawer and $70 worth of merchandise revenue in inventory , now I have neither. Without the original theft I would have $200 in the drawer and $70 revenue hole in my inventory, I’m out $200. KC

It matters not whether the thief bought groceries with it, meth, opened a passbook savings account, or donated it to the democrat party, the fact is $100 was stolen.

The store loses the $100 bill through theft. They then get back possession of the original $100 bill through an act of fraud. Square one. At this point they are restored. They then relinquish the goods, whatever their actual worth and $30 cash in this act of fraud so that is what they are out.

It matters not whether the thief bought groceries with it, meth, opened a passbook savings account, or donated it to the democrat party, the fact is $100 was stolen. That's right and it's another way to look at it. I'll still stick with $100. However, you can split hairs like others have mentioned and calculate the profit margin for both transactions together, my sorry azz would have still lost $82. The $70 would have been $52 cost of goods and $18.00 net. I guess they make a bigger margin off of food. Then you could go further and factor in overhead, in which case you probably lost more than $100 because you had to sit there and watch his crummy azz to make sure he's not ripping you off. Then at the end of the day, you're counting your drawer trying to figure out why you're $100 short. I hate thieves, unfortunately I lose a lot more than $100 over the coarse of a year. Rant over. But like you guys said, it doesn't matter what he did with the money. You're still out the hundred bucks and the azzhole might have come in and bought the stuff anyway. Sorry for the highjack.

Pretend for a minute the guy bought the items with a different hundred dollar bill, or put them on a credit card. Precisely $100 was stolen.

I like that it was "pre owed" and not owned. Most of you young guys probably didn't get that far.
