THEN HE BUYS $70 OF GOODS FROM THAT STORE & GETS $30 CHANGE. HOW MUCH DID THE STORE LOSE? True, but it's a shame most of you get the answer wrong. Now what will I do? Switch to something simpler like... If the cost of a bat and a baseball combined is $1.10 and the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, how much is the ball? Then some idjits will come back and try to recalculate the value of the bat and ball based on inflation because they don't know how to follow simple instructions. |

What is scary is about 2/3 of GLPers cannot do their kid's 3rd grade maths homework but on other topics they insist they know more than PhD scientists with 20+ years of schooling way, way beyond this simple addition and subtraction problem. The arrogant ignorance is aptly demonstrated by this thread. No wonder they are so firmly suckered by the crackpots, kooks, and scammers... They are unbelievably dumb. Holy cow! R.

THEN HE BUYS $70 OF GOODS FROM THAT STORE & GETS $30 CHANGE. HOW MUCH DID THE STORE LOSE? Didn't read all the responses, but for the people who think the answer is something other than $100, consider this scenario: A. The man first buys $70 worth of goods from the store with his own $100 bill, and gets $30 in change. How much did the store lose at this point? How much did the man gain at this point? (Hint, with no profit margin in play, the answer to both questions is obviously zero) B. Then, while the cashier wasn't looking, he takes back his $100 bill. Now how much has the store lost? How much has the man gained? Since the net gain/loss after A was 0, and $100 changed hands in B, then the net gain/loss after B can't be anything other than $100. Now, ask yourself, why would it matter if step B was done before step A? Answer: It doesn't matter, that is why the answer is 100 dollars. |

THEN HE BUYS $70 OF GOODS FROM THAT STORE & GETS $30 CHANGE. HOW MUCH DID THE STORE LOSE? Here's a trickier accounting problem. The error is made in the 2nd to last sentence. Quoting: Anonymous How4rd Three guests check into a hotel room. The manager says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the manager realizes the bill should only have been $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 as five one-dollar bills to return to the guests. On the way to the guests' room to refund the money, the bellhop realizes that he cannot equally divide the five one-dollar bills among the three guests. As the guests are not aware of the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 back and keep $2 as a tip for himself, and proceeds to do so. As each guest got $1 back, each guest only paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop kept $2, which when added to the $27, comes to $29. So if the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1? The bellhop kept the $2 which when subtracted from the $27 comes to $25 total paid out. |
