I think we are all matured enough not be involved in names calling,and the last time I check everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. If you are not comfortable with answers anybody gives,why not overlook and jejely pass by.

Exactly bro.

That is another explanation to the simple arithmetic, not even math.

How should the 800 balance he gave to the buyer which was not from his pocket be added to his loss? As clearly narrated, he got the fake 1k split into lower denominations and gave the buyer 800 then pocketed 200.

How can you also add the goods of N200 given to the buyer as loss when the buyer had pocketed his N200?

Dude just getting excited over a newly acquired rusty box of electronic components he prefers to call a laptop.

As you have rightly said, just imagine what a combination of "working" brain and a laptop can come up with.

He exchanged the fake 1k for the 200+800 then gave the buyer 800 and pocketed 200 (Not from his pocket)

Note, he had not taken anything from his pocket but has already put 200 there in exchange for his goods

The only time he had to deep hand in his pocket was when the 1k was discovered to be fake and that 1k he exchanged for the fake 1k is the only loss he suffered.

If he lost 2k, who gained the other 1k?

Oboy nawao, just primary school arithmetic?

This is the only reasonable explanation, all these other ones up there are craps.
The loss is just 1k, which is as a result of fake 1k discovered later.

another empty up there...what about the 800 given away to the woman and the goods worth 200,who bears the lose? I will not waste my time on baskets again. grin

It can be very annoying for a supposed adult just laying hands on an ordinary laptop that school children now even use for game to start announcing it everywhere and even calling others names.

Any idiot can go to computer village in Lagos with 15k and get one outdated pentium 2 laptop then begin to feel on top of the world when guys are already updating beyond core i7.

I really sympathise with dude, rather than even getting himself used to ordinary laptop, he is exposing his poverty of both knowledge and resources.

Stop dragging this stuff... The answer is #2,000.

Modified..
I was wrong, I got the correct answer which is a loss of #1000,after i did some calculations..

The shopkeeper actually lost #1,000.

Bro, how is it 2k?

Now let's even assume the seller has change of 800, no borrowing, no getting change anywhere.

As the buyer came to buy goods with the fake 1k then the seller gave the goods of 200 and a change of 800 in exchange for the fake 1k. What did the seller lose?

200 + 800= 1k. The seller lose 1k since the fake 1k is just an ordinary paper.

For God's sake, if he lost 1k since he had change, how will this loss be double if he hadn't?

Note, since he had no change, he got the 1k split by his neighbour, gave the buyer 800 and pocketed 200 in exchange for the goods sold and nobody was at either a loss or owing anyone.

But when the 1k was discovered to be fake, it was the seller that bore that loss of 1k, nothing more.

Pls, if the loss is 2k, to whom did he lost the other 1k since the buyer went away with 1k? Except if you are trying to say the buyer came to dupe him of 2k with a fake 1k note.

Oboy nawao!

Your newly acquired heaven must be seriously working on you, and I repeat, don't get too worked up as that is not an achievement.

From 2000 to 200, something is really wrong somewhere. If an ordinary rusty laptop can cause memory loss, certainly that equipment should be handled with care.

Oboy nawao!

OK.. I will try and explain...

QUESTION OF THE DAY!
If you get the answer right, then you aren't olodo cheesy cheesy
some people will run away at the sight of this question.

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


She gave the shopkeeper a #1000 note

The Shopkeeper had no change on him


shopkeeper had no change

so he went to another Shopkeeper John his neighbour and collected ₦1000 change in ₦200 denominations, with which he settled the lady
and she left.


The shop keeper took the #1000 to John to get change by exchanging the #1000 from the buyer with (5x#200)from John. The shopkeeper then gave the buyer #200 worth of goods and #800 balance/change then he kept the remaining #200 from the #1000 change he got from John.

1...AT THIS STAGE... EVERYTHING WAS FINE... NO WAHALA... grin.


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


John who took the #1000 the shopkeeper brought(the one giving to him by the buyer) and exchanged it with his money, now discovered that the #1000 is fake.then went to confront the Shopkeeper angrily..

CHAI...TROUBLE DON DEY COME OOOO... JOHN MIGHT DEAL WITH THE SHOP KEEPER FOR BRING FAKE #1000 TO HIM TO GET CHANGE... WETIN CONCERN AM WITH BUYER? SEBI NA SHOPKEEPER BRING THE #1000 TO HIM SHOP... grin.

QUESTION 1...Do you agree that at this stage.... The buyer has left with #800 and #200 worth of good.. I.e The shop keeper has lost #1000. .



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


John is angry and felt cheated that the shopkeeper brought fake #1000 to his shop to get change. He is ready to deal with John to get his money back or any original #1000 note.. grin...

OMO, FEAR CATCH THE SHOPKEEPER... AND HE DOESN'T WANT TROUBLE.. SINCE HE CANT TRACE THE BUYER, HE HAD NO CHOICE THAN TO GIVE JOHN ANOTHER #1000 TO AVOID TROUBLE AND PROBABLY SOME HIT BLOW AND DEADLY UPPERCUT..BAD MARKET sad

QUESTION 2...The shopkeeper gave John ANOTHER #1000 to avoid trouble since he can't locate the buyer and also restored the fake note..The buyer left with his #1000(#800 change and #200 worth of good).. He now gave John another #1000..

Do you now agree that he lost #2,000 in total

QUESTION 1...Do you agree that at this stage.... The buyer has left with #800 and #200 worth of good.. I.e The shop keeper has lost #1000. .




All points very clear but the question 1 in your analysis needs to be looked into again.

To make it a bit simple, let's replace Mr John with a personal saving box belonging to the seller.

The seller has a total of 5k of lower denominations in his personal saving box.

When a seller came to buy goods of 200 and brought out 1k, the seller had no change so he quickly went to the box and picked 1k pieces then drop the 1k there.

He now came back to settle the buyer with 800 and goods of 200, then put the remaining 200 in his pocket.

At this stage, he had actually incurred a loss but unknown to him. Now lets assume that this is the only sales made that day. As he wanted to add this his 200 to his saving in the box, he discovered that the 1k is fake. How will you now suddenly add the 800 and goods of 200 as parts of the loss? Could he had collected the 1k without giving the buyer those items? Where did you now place even the 200 he kept in his pocket?

The truth is that the 800 he gave the buyer and 200 he pocketed were actually picked from the box and not originally from his pocket and that is never a loss on him. The only loss is in that box where he kept a fake 1k note which he will finally bear.

O boy, just put this in practice (a kind of mock) you will be surprised that the loss is actually 1k not 2k.

Infact, I just don't know how to further explain this.

It will be appropriate lalasticlala, seun oam4j obinoscopy or Mynd44 give this thing a wide view.

I agree more with the explanation by LionDeLeo. His own seems to more logical be because if you say the seller lost 2k, to whom exactly did he lose the other 1k?
Of course the buyer went away with just 1k for her fake 1k, where is the other 1k? That is my own.

Question 3......Where is the fake #1000 note,?

Total money lost by the Shopkeeper... #200(worth of goods) + #800(change/balance) + #1000(the fake money destroyed by the shop keeper)..= #2,000.

Okay, pls also answer these questions;
Where did the seller get the 800 given to the buyer?
Of course from Mr John, not from his pocket.
What happened to the goods of 200 given to the buyer?
The 200 is with the seller, in his pocket.
If you take this into consideration, you will discover that the only money given out by the buyer is just the 1k in exchange for the fake one and that is the only loss.

OK... I now know where you got it wrong....
THE reason why he lost the extra 1000 is because it got change from John... Had it been he had the change, he would have lost only 1000....

What is the difference?

Pls don't just argue this just for winning sake, look at it very very well.

At what point did the seller bring out money from his pocket?

Remember, the 800 he gave to the buyer was not from his pocket and as such cannot be viewed as additional loss to him. It was part of the 1000 change he got from Mr John. Would he had kept the 800 to himself?

Also, remember the seller had collected the 200 for the goods sold and that cannot also be additional loss.

The only time he gave out money without anything in return was when he had to suffer the loss of 1k which was fake.

But what kind of analysis is this sef? You mean just because he got the change from John that is why his loss now doubles? Hmm.

Which extra 1k are you talking about?

The seller gave John 1k and John gave him back the 1k in pieces. Meanwhile, the seller had not taken anything from his pocket so far but pocketed 200 for his goods.

2...who paid the extra 1k to John to avoid trouble?

The fake 1k has been torn.

But who paid for the previous 800 given to the buyer + 200 in the seller's pocket?

Certainly, you know that was gotten from Mr John in exchange for the fake 1k, not from the seller.

IT was paid by John and he got it from the shopkeeper after he collected the fake 1k back from John.

Leo, I just did the calculations and arrived at 1k loss.... The loss was the 1k he gave John.... Which is the same as the #800 +200 worth of goods...
I am sorry for the inconvenience... You are absolutely right

Thanks for your sincerity. Others will only argue just to win even after discovering where it was wrong.

You earn my respect, seriously.

Cheers.

I swear dis must be akin. Intelligent and very straightforward. The day u solved one question involving birds and 4-legged animals is when I registered ur username in my memory.
One dude is here forming working brain and laptop but cannot solve dis problem. Annoyingly he is busy insulting everyone calling people nepa bill.
Well done bro.
