A lady walks into a store and steals a £100 quid note from the till without the owners knowledge.
She comes back 5 mins later and buys £70 of booze with the £100 note.
The owner gives her back £30 change.
How much did the owner lose?
A £30
B £70
C £100
D £130
E £170
F £200
I say £100 most say £200?

She’s ended up walking out with £70 worth of booze and £30 cash, so you’re right £100.
100 isn't it.
£100, £70 of booze plus £30 cashOriginally Posted by uncle bob
£30 plus whatever the wholesale price of the booze cost him..
For the purposes of the riddle I guess the wholesale price is irrelevant
No such thing as a £100 note 😉
You can get a £100 pound Scottish note
Ai, and its legal tender pal
30 quid cash and 70 quids worth of booze = 100 quid
i would say 200 because he is 100 down so if he put back 100 then he would be down 200 if that makes sense
No it doesn’t because she gives him 100 back when paying for the booze
Surely it's £130. £100 stolen plus £30 given from £70 spent.
£100 theft of cash is all that has been lost.
You can ignore the purchase and exchange of cash to buy the goods as that's his normal business (You wouldn't include it as a loss if a third person came in and used a different £100 note (is there such a thing) to buy the goods.
yes but he still lost the booze and 30 so i stick with 200 JR
He's lost £100 cash, the rest is normal business.
Not south of the border it's not
And you used to be able to get Iridh ones until the IRA stole millions of them one christmas eve
But she gave him the original 100 she stole back when purchasing the booze so he hadn’t lost it
I’m off out to rob an off licence
if you went out to buy something from a shop for 100 and you lose that 100 it well cost you another 100 so u would have spent 200, that's my reason off thinking.
You’re either on a wind up or incredibly thick 😂
Man drops £100 out of till and woman finds it and returns it to man. As reward man gives her £30 cash plus £70 booze meaning it has cost him £100, less whatever profit was on the booze.
£30 plus the cost of the booze
