N1800. He gave John N1000 and the lady N800

It's 1k

He kept 200 for himself, he probably just added 800 to the 200 that he kept to give back to John

Really don't think the 800 is a loss, cause the lady is entitled to her change

I've modified my post, the answer is 1k

The answer is simply #200. Check this out

He sold the good for #200, now that's a loss because in the real sense the buyer did not act actually pay for it. why? Because his money was not good and instead received another #800 balance making it #1000 loss. At the end of the day he had no choice but to give john another #1000. Now that makes it #2000.

The answer is 1k.

Let's see it this way; the shop owner borrowed 1k from John and paid #200 naira for the buyer of the item ( since the buyer brought a fake money) and also gave him #800 change which he left with.

That means he has to repay John the 1k he borrowed which will make him loose only 1k.

Thank you.
