A guy walks into a store and steals a $100 bill from the register without the owner's knowledge.
He then buys $70 worth of goods using the $100 bill and the owner gives $30 in change.
How much money did the owner lose?
Answer $100
First, the owner loses $100 when it is stolen from him. Then, in the second part of the problem, he gets that $100 back, then gives away $30 cash and $70 worth of goods, bringing him back down to -$100 on the day. In total, he only loses the $100 that was originally stolen from him.
