Aix Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 So you bought a pair of shoes for 30 dollars, but it turns out to not actually fit that well and you lost the receipt so you try to sell it. No one buys at first so you bring the price down to 20 dollars. A guy comes by with a fifty dollar bill and no change, so you go exchange the fifty dollar bill with a neighbour for fifty dollars in change and give the guy the shoes plus thirty dollars. Your neighbour comes back telling you that the fifty dollar bill was counterfeit and she wants her money back, so you end up paying her 50 dollars. How much money did you lose?

Maeriberii Haan Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'll just hunt that man's ass down and get his counterfeit ass to pay me as much as he could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathanael D. Striker Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 60 bucks? That'd be right if you don't count what the shoes are worth. Buy shoes: -$30 Mark down shoes to $20: Still -$30 Take (Counterfeit) $50 from buyer to neighbor for change: $20 Sell shoes for $20: -$10 Neighbor finds out bill is counterfeit: -$60 Realize you gave the shoes away for nothing: -$80 So, the loss is $80.

But you started with no shoes. It's not a net-loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanael D. Striker Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 But you started with no shoes. It's not a net-loss. You bought the shoes, then realized a counterfeit bill was involved. You essentially lost the shoes. The shoes were worth $20, but I see your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiri Tsukikawa Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 You bought the shoes, then gave away someone else's $30 and the shoes, then gave 20 of the exchanged 50 back to the neighbor plus 30 more. 30 + 30 + 20 + 30 = $110 But I probably did math wrong again-pri.

Thar Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 You pay $30 for the shoes. The neighbor gives you a $50 counterfeit bill, which is $0. You give them $30 in change: $60. She asks for a full refund, $50. You end up losing a total of $110. Tough shit, bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4hardcore Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I got 80 at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 First, you're down $30 for buying the shoes. Gained $20 after using neighbor's change, so at $10 loss. You then paid your neighbor back $50, so it's $60 loss. I don't believe you count the extra $ because that was your neighbor's $ that you gave to the guy.

Thar Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 But wait, what if the counterfeit bill was actually real? That would deduce the amount lost by $50. Alternatively, you lose $60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinkerer Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 More than you should have. I mean, who doesn't try on the shoes in the store to make sure they fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 This is really a matter of whether or not the neighbor was telling the truth about the $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 This is really a matter of whether or not the neighbor was telling the truth about the $50.No, cuz either way you end up paying the neighbour 50 bucks because you don't go find out if he lied or not.The answer is $60... I think.You buy the shoes: -$30You get fifty bucks from your neighbour: $20You sell the shoes and give $30 dollars to the guy: -$10You pay your neighbour $50 for the loss: -$60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
