How much did the owner lose?


We need to know the sales tax rate because he is going to have to pay sales tax on the 170.00

Due to the extreme mark up of groceries, I would say they are likely to claim around $65.


not always, if it was a bunch of milk, bread and eggs, those are often sold at or below cost

Your down the $100 he stole from you.



she put $70 back into the register...she stole the groceries plus $30...we need to figure out how much the groceries cost the store owner to figure out exactly how much he lost.

You can't assume he would have sold them pre spoilage


If the store rotated them properly, there's but a small chance that they wouldn't have sold.

See, this is why I don't like questions like this. Too many variables.

He lost $100. You are trying to find out how much she stole in your narrative, which is not what the question asked. The owner lost the initial $100. The thief got $30 plus the groceries, but that's not what is being asked.

okay now the guy that took the $100 from you runs away and someone else buys the widget from you for $50...shouldn't you have $150 now?


Obviously not, that $100 is gone.

Let me see if this makes it simpler. I pay $10 for a widget and sell it for $100. You steal $100 from me and buy the widget. Now I have $100 in my pocket, just like before you stole it and I'm out a $10 widget. I've only lost $10 and my time explaining to you how I only lost $10.


Of course for insurance purposes I'm claiming that $100.

If store has solid rotation ordering process no sales were missed.

Yeah can't be answered - we need to know what was bought

What if they wouldn't have bought the widget if they hadn't stolen the money?

none of that matters. The original thief taking the $100 is confusing the hell out of yall. Take him out of the picture...he takes the money and runs. The NEXT customer buys $70 worth of food and gets $30 in change (no loss to store as it is a normal operation)...the register is still short the $100 the thief stole.
