The goods are irrelevant with the way the question is worded. $30. Final answer.

Wrong answer

The items the thief purchased were 7 white T-shirts. The actual cost of the shirts to the store were $5, and the store sells them for $10

Within minutes another paying customer walks in and asks where he could find white T-shirts, and is told they just sold out

So the store actually lost the cash from the paying customer, which would have offset the cost they were already out for the purchase of the white T-shirts

$35 in merch, $35 profit from sale, and $30 in change = $100
