Answer 1

He is out of pocket by $32 to purchase the camera, and $90 to pay the medication store, however he is in stash by $62 in his till, so his net loss is $60. 
Diverse bookkeepers would include or subtract the different things in an alternate request, so some ways would look more straightforward than others, however there is no single right way.
