1. $100 stolen...owner is out $100 so far 2. $ 70 paid...owner is now out only $30 so far 3. $ 30 change...owner is now out $60 so far 4. $ 70 waterpipe out the door...owner is out $130 altogether. - this $70 includes both the owner's cost for the pipe plus his profit margin.
One way to think of it is that the only theft that happens is the original $100. Everything after that looks like a regular transaction. The provenance of the money in that transaction is irrelevant as it already has been accounted for in the original theft.
$100.00. Shop owner is even. Guy steals $100. Shop owner is at -$100. Guy gives back the $100. Shop owner is even. Shop owner gives the guy $70 item plus $30. Shop owner is at -$100.
Lol. The guy is the focus point. He walks in with nothing, he walks out with $30 cash and an item worth $70. So the store owner loses $100, if we ignore what he paid for the pipe, et cetera. So C (what you Americans pronounce like Z)
$100 less the profit margin on the $70 bong, that the thief wouldn't have bought if he hadn't stolen the money? So maybe $95 plus or minus?
ReplyDelete$200 , the $100 stolen, the $70 pipe, and the $30 change. Not that hard
