The correct answer is $100.
How do we get there?
The best answer from the choices is the owner lost $100. The $100 bill that was stolen was then given back to the owner. What the owner loses is the $70 worth of items and the $30 in change, which makes for a total of $70 + $30 = $100. The owner has lost $100.
At first glance, the answer might seem to be 200$ or 130$, but that’s not the case. I’ll explain why.
The man stole 100$. The loss incurred is 100$.
