    Just the 100
    70 in goods "without knowing markup"
    And 30 in cash

    Agree with Jim, $100 minus markup which will vary depending on the store and items/loss leaders, etc.

    So many options that haven't been guessed yet.

    • The $100 bill could have been a bill in the sense of an electricity bill or a gas bill that the man stole.
    • The store could have made a little bit of money if they have insurance with a $0 deductible for stolen money, so they get reimbursed $100 and make whatever profit they made on the $70 sale.
    • If the name of the store he bought the stuff from is literally "that store" and he stole the $100 from a store that's called "a store", then "the store" didn't lose any money if "the store" is a third store. "the store" could have made a profit if "the store" and "that store" are the same place, but different from "a store".
    • the man could have been arrested and the goods and money returned to the store, so no loss
    • The question could be asking how much money the store has lost or gained in a day, or a month, or a lifetime.

    So he took a $100 which we assume paid for $100 in goods other people purchased?? But that's what's there to throw you off .....because that's technically $200. The answer should be $100 tho. Technically the $100 never left the register and he was given the $70 in goods and $30 in cash.

    It's $100, but indeterminable with what is presented.

    Edit : Punctuation
