A brain teaser has taken social media by storm, with users trying to calculate the store’s actual loss in a scenario involving a $100 bill theft. The puzzle presents a man who steals $100, buys $70 in goods, and receives $30 in change, leaving people divided over the final answer.

Some believe the store’s loss is $100, while others argue it’s $130, factoring in both the stolen $100 and the change. The answer depends on understanding the flow of cash and goods in the store’s interactions.

The key lies in realizing that after the thief uses the stolen $100 to purchase items, the store is only out $30 in cash but also $70 in goods. Together, this leads to a total calculated loss of $100, with both cash and merchandise contributing equally to this amount.
