It depends on how “lose” is defined.

In the normal standard sense

Lol don't ask me how that's defined

 

Maybe this here on this forum can have multiple answers instead of just one haha

 

 

And so far. All wrong answers

A. 30

 

[SoonHei]

@Anna1 hope you're not just guessing haha

 

And no. Not A.

[Uglyroach]

I agree with serotoninluv, for me he just lost the first 100$. after It's just a normal trade so Nothing lost Nothing earned but if you count the trade so yes it is the first:30$

 

[Pacific Sage]

100 dollars ?

[SoonHei]

The answer can be found if you drop psychological time from one event to the next

Funny...I wasn't ..lol...I figured he gave (lost?) $30

But, forget it (walks out of the room and slams the door) 

[Forestluv]

Assuming no opportunity profit for the storeowner, he lost $100.

For example, let’s say the guy bought $70 of vegetables, that nobody else would have bought and the storeowner had to discard them. If he paid $50 for those vegetables, he would have had to take that loss if the thief didn’t buy them. In this scenario, the storeowner’s net loss would be $50 ($30 if we factor in opportunity loss of the $20 profit).

$100 loss to the store owner.

The thief could have made the same profit by buying (basically stealing)$ 100 worth goods.

I really don't get it...in my world u take $100 from me, then, take $70 of my stuff, then I give you $30 more, that's $200 

Someone explain?

Wait...no, took $100, gave back $70, then got back $30...oh $100

Hehehe???

[SoonHei]

@Anna1 this is how i look at it

 

Take the first event and second as separate

 

If i go to a store and buy $70 stuff. Pay for it with a $100 bill and get $30 back. Is there any loss for the owner there?

 

No

That's just a regular transaction which takes place.

 

Now let's look at the first event by itself.

He took a $100 from the register.

 

That's it. $100 loss

The other is just buying something. Which is a normal transaction.

Imagine the thief stole $100 and left the store. Then someone else entered, bought $70 of merchandise and paid with a $100 bill.

The thing is he takes a $100 bill but has to return it at the time of buying. The bill is back in its original place. But instead of the bill goods worth 70$ are with the thief along with the change of $30..a total profit of $ 100 to the thief and the same loss for the owner. 

In every situation it will be $100 only since the buyer or thief doesn't wish to spend his own money but utilizes the money he stole. 

So only $100 is exchanged each time one way or another.

This assumes that the $70 of merchandise would have eventually been sold. If the thief bought $70 of perishable items that no one else would have bought and the storeowner had to discard the items, his net loss would be less than $100.
