Help Me Solve This Simple Challenge by Samdebest: 7:57am On Jul 09, 2016
This challenge looks easy but it is not because everyone will arrive at a different answer…

A Man bought goods worth ₦200 and paid the shopkeeper with a ₦1000 Note.

The Shopkeeper had no change on him so he went to another Shopkeeper Joy (his neighbour) and collected ₦1000 change in ₦200 denominations, with which he settled the man and he left.

A little while later, Joy came back angrily after she discovered the ₦1000 note she was given by the shopkeeper was fake, and demanded a replacement.

To avoid trouble, the shopkeeper had to give Joy another ₦1000 and destroyed the counterfeit which had no real value.

So Question for the geniuses…
How much has the Shopkeeper lost in total?

A. ₦1200

B. ₦2000

C. ₦1000

D. ₦1800

E. ₦2200

Goodluck Your time starts now

B. N2000.


Here's the breakdown...
N200 good bought by the customer
N800 change handed to the customer
N1000 replacement given to joy
Total lost is N2000



And try to correct the error in topic header. It's solve, not slove.
