Think of it this way. Ignore for now that $100 was stolen.
The purchase of the $70 item for $100 cash with $30 change is a perfectly fair purchase. The store received $100 cash, and the store gave $70 worth of merchandise plus $30 cash.There was no loss to the store there.
The fact that $100 in cash was stolen earlier from cash register means the loss is $100. The legitimate transaction does not affect the loss.
If you have a hard time understanding the loss is $100, then think of it this way.
Reverse the order of the two happenings.
A person walked into a store and bought a $70 item with a $100 bill. He received $30 change. So far, there is no loss to the store. Everything is legit.
That customer later came back to the store and stole $100 from the cash register.
Here we see clearly that the loss is exactly $100. It is simply the $100 stolen from the cash register.

198.43. dollars is the answer
Answer:
$40
Step-by-step explanation:
25% is 1/4.
If 10 is 1/4 of the full amount, then you take 10 and multiply by 4 to get the full amount.
10 times 4 equals 40.
I'm thinking this is what the problem looks like:
. The first thing to do is to move the
over to the other side because it has a common denominator with the other side. Doing that and at the same time combining them over their common denominator looks like this:
. The best way to solve for x now is to cross-multiply to get 3(4-x)=-4(x-4). Distributing through the parenthesis is 12 - 3x = -4x + 16. Solving for x gives us x = 4. Of course when we sub a 4 back in for x we get real problems, don't we? Dividing by zero breaks every rule in math that there ever was! So, yes, the solution is extraneous.
