The riddle below has caused thousands of people to tear their hair out because they can\u2019t manage to solve the task. It is anything but easy, but if you concentrate and take your time, I know you can solve it.<\/p>\n

How much did the store lose?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here comes today\u2019s test. Below, we can see a picture.<\/p>\n

The challenge is thus the following:<\/p>\n

A man steals a $100 bill from a store\u2019s register. Then he buys $70 worth of goods at that store using the $100 bill and gets a $30 change. How much money did the store lose?<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Can you come up with the answer? Think carefully, and read the task a few times. We\u2019ll show you the correct answer after the picture below.<\/p>\n

A<\/p>\n

B<\/p>\n

C<\/p>\n

Here is the correct answer
\nThe correct answer is $100.<\/p>\n

How do we get there?<\/p>\n

The best answer from the choices is the owner lost $100. The $100 bill that was stolen was then given back to the owner. What the owner loses is the $70 worth of items and the $30 in change, which makes for a total of $70 + $30 = $100. The owner has lost $100.<\/p>\n

At first glance, the answer might seem to be 200$ or 130$, but that\u2019s not the case. I\u2019ll explain why.<\/p>\n

The man stole 100$. The loss incurred is 100$.<\/p>\n

Step 1 \u2013 The man hands the 100$ note to the store owner. The loss incurred is 0$.<\/p>\n

Step 2 \u2013 The store owner hands over items worth 70$. The loss incurred is 70$.<\/p>\n

Step 3 \u2013 The store owner hands over 30$ worth of change. Loss incurred is (70$ + 30$) = 100$<\/p>\n

Did you solve it on your own? Congratulations on that case!<\/p>\n
