Question:
A guy bought a shirt from a shop for $21, of which the cost price is $18. He gave the shopkeeper a $100 note.?
Not having any small change, the shopkeeper change the $100 note with his neighbour and returned the guy $79. The next day, the shopkeeper's neighbour claimed that the $100 note is a fake note and demand for a compensation. How much did the shopkeeper actually lose?
Answers:
This is all assuming that the shopkeeper is on the up and up with his neighbor and the neighbor didn't switch a fake 100-note for the real one. (Isn't it neat how convoluted we can make a simple math problem?)
$100.00 to repay his neighbor
79.00 that he gave the customer
That's $179.00 cash - plus the shirt.
Do the math. At $18.00 for the shirt it would come to a total of $198.00.
If you tacked on the $3.00 he added to the shirt the total would be $200.00.
No taxes involved?
