Misses has just had this question on her DS and dont think the answer the ds says is correct and she wont believe me that it was wrong, so therefore open to the shrewdies on here !!
Woman goes into a shop and buys a 30 quid pair of shoes and pays with a 50 quid note. The shop keeper doesnt have the right change, so goes to the shop next door and changes the 50 quid note and gives the woman her change.
5 mins later the other shop keeper comes in and says the 50 quid note was fake and the original shopkeeper changes the 50 back.
How much did the original shopkeeper lose out ??

|
|
By:
depends on the profit margin on the shoes shoe-rly?
|
|
By:
my answer was 70 brodie and was incorrect !
|
|
By:
nothing!
|
|
By:
£20 and a pair of shoes
|
|
By:
£50 obviously
|
|
By:
£30
|
|
By:
the £50 changeover can be ignored.
|
|
By:
50 quid
|
|
By:
comprised as study says :)
|
|
By:
I know that shop... They Don't take £50 notes in there.
There is a sign clearly stating this. |
|
By:
yep ,he had the fifty that the other shopkeeper gave him less the £20 so on second thought he's lost £20 and a £30 pair of shoes.
|
|
By:
£70 :)
|
|
By:
If the Woman was John Terrys Mum then he prob lost about £500 worth of stock that she had stuffed in her bag.
|
|
By:
£70 he had to give the lady £20 change then she left
and then had to give the other shopkeeper his £50 back |
|
By:
£50
|
|
By:
There will be the theory that says £100
£30 shoes+£20 change+£50 counterfeit. |
|
By:
yes £100
|
|
By:
£100 is my answer.
|
|
By:
danny, the £50 he got from the other shopkeeper is just given back so levels there.
he loses the £20 and the £30 pair of shoes he gave to the conman in total ;) |
|
By:
Even if the shoes didn't cost the shopkeeper £30 then they are worth £30 to his pocket if he can sell them for that much.
|
|
By:
And what sort of man sells women's shoes?
|
|
By:
but if the lady is married to the shopkeeper next door.
then they have conned the cobbler |
|
By:
The shopkeeper has to be honest and hand the fake money to the cops.
|
|
By:
unless its his brother in laws sisters husbands wife
then i dont know |
|
By:
surely 20!
ignore the fake 50 . the only time he put his hand in the till was to get the 20 change - that's the only money he's lost. |
|
By:
what does the DS say?
|
|
By:
it says this DS will self destruct in 30 mins if you dont get the correct fckn answer
|
|
By:
20 cash or 50 if including monetary value of shoes.
|
|
By:
The woman gave him 50 and took 20 and a pair of shoes.
He changed the note and then changed it back - so that part is irrelevant. so it's £20 and a pair of shoes |
|
By:
well it depends if you say that the fake £50 is his to spend or not
answer is £70, or £20 |
|
By:
He loses £50 cash plus the value of the shoes.
sj |
|
By:
if he spends the fake £50, he hasnt lost anything.
|
|
By:
Anyone who says £70 cash isn't very bright IMO :(
sj |
|
By:
the £50 cash he gives back was never his, it came from the other shop.
|
|
By:
cheers SJ :)
|
|
By:
£100, easy.
|
|
By:
its £50 for me. £20 for the change he gave her back and £30 for the shoes he`d sold her.
|
|
By:
£20 + the shoes is definitely right.
