Assuming Initially he had 3000 before the Customer arrive and he had change the customer want. He will have 3200 after transaction, where 1000 is a bad money and 200 is money for the goods. So when u tear the bad money u get 2200 and when u use the 200 to replace the goods u have 2000 naira left. So U only Lost 1 thousand.

Or put like these he didn't come with any money and u did not look for any change, All u did is give him goods and money worth 1k

This is how you add problem to yourself.

Why assume what he had before?

We want to know what he lost from the transaction and not his net balance afterwards.

Simple question you dey dance up and down

I assume a problem to solve a problem. And arrive at the solution. What the heck are u saying

You assumed a problem to compound a simple problem and ended up adding to the problem.

Mr Nairaland?

From your signature it seems you are supporting vizkiz. Are you here to campaign ?

did i get yu right?.....well vote for vizkiz

I believe he lost N1800.

total loss to be writen off is #2000.

goods given to the woman is worth #200
change given to the woman is #800
money changed from john #1000 which was eventually paid back with her own cash #1000.

C - N 1,000

MagicBishop:
Too many illiterates here...

The shop keeper lost a total of 1,000 naira to the lady plus the additional 1,000 naira he settled John back minus the 200 naira left after he balanced the lady 800 naira change

Thus we have

1,000 + 1,000 - 200

= 1,800 naira total loss.

You can't loose what you don't have
Remember that, ceteris paribus, the shopkeeper had only 1200 to begin with: 1000 in cash and 200 in goods

It doesn't matter what he had before as long as it is a constant
Call it "x" if you want

This one don ya were sha.

Its funny how people get confused by every day accounting problems like this.

The shop keeper has simply lost N1000 (N800 cash given to the customer and goods worth N200 given to the customer).

C

alekside:
N200 worth of good + N600 balance to the lady, N1000 to his neighbor, all totaling N2000.

The 1000 he gave to his neighbour is the refund of the 1000 he collected from his neighbour. He only lost 1000.

NaMe4:
1800 in cash plus 200 naira worth of goods making a total of 2000 naira.

On a second thought, the shopkeeper became N1000 richer when he collected the money from John.
By returning the same value to John, he got back to his initial baseline level. For no value, he gave out N800 to the lady plus N200 worth of goods; making a total loss of N1000.

The Answer is N1000 - F (None of the above)

Chaii!... You failed in your first sentence, then you luckily corrected yourself in your second paragraph, hallelluia!... But unfortunately, the juju from your village was very strong on you, so even though you got the answer in your second paragraph, you went ahead to pick the wrong option F-(none of the above), even though 1000 in in the given option (C).

This was exactly how my very brilliant friend Efosa failed jamb 4 times until he went for deliverance

Lol. You no well o!

so these are the types of people we have in this forum. Moderator pls remove this topic because am ashame and befor Sahara reporter will carry a news that 70% of nigerian are mathematically illiterate. If the cost of transaction is not included, the store keper lost only 1k. (Cost of goods(200 naira) and 800 naira(change))

WHY ARE YOU GUYS BEATING ABOUT THE BUSH NA? HE LOST JUST 1000 NAIRA

1)person brought 0x. 2)u gave person 200x(goods). 3)ur neighbour gave u 1000x. 4) u collected 200x. 5)u give person 800x.
maths1
0x -200x= -200x...u, 1000x-800x=200x...u
ie -200x+200x=ox...u.1a person (p)
0x+200x=200x........p, 0x+800x=800x.....p
is 200x+800x =1000x.....p. 2 neighbour(n)
0x-1000x=-1000x..n. 3
from1 and 3
u lost 0x ur neighbour lost 1000x
maths2
-1000x(from n)+1000x(from u)=0x...n
0x-1000x=-1000x....u
ans ;person=1000x, neighbour=0x, u=-1000x
