Question

a woman walks into a store and steals $100 from the register and leaves. she later returns purchasing $70 in merchandise giving the owner the $100 bill she stole. she received $30 in change. how much money did the store lose?

Answer 1

The store lost $100.

Answer 2

Actually, I believe the answer would be $30. If she steals $100, then pays them $100 and gets $30 back, then they get $70 back out of the $100.
