Shopping In Egypt – Tricky Riddle!

toyWaleed buys stuff worth 300 pounds from a toy shop.(The toys were sold with zero profits)
Waleed gives him 1000 pound note. The shopkeeper gets the change from the next shop and keeps 300 for himself and returns 700 pounds to Waleed.
Later the shopkeeper of the next shop comes with the 1000 pound note saying that it was a fake note and takes his money back.
How much LOSS did the shopkeeper face?

    1000 returned to the neighbor
    700 returned to the customer
    1700 in total. The toy was paid for with 300 real money.

      But that 700 given to the customer wasn’t his own money. That was given as a part of the change for 1000 pound note. How can he lose 700 ?

  39. W E September 13, 2013 at 10:09 PM #

    He lost $300 for the toys he sold for free

    $700 that he gave Waleed

    $700 that he should give back on top of what he kept for himself when the exchange was made

    So the total is $1,700!

    • Ahmed September 14, 2013 at 10:01 AM #

      The shop keeper lost 1,700 Ponds in all. The 700 Pounds he gave as change to Waleed, 700 Pounds he had to find to return to the other shopkeeper in addition to the 300 Pounds money for the toys he retained from the change he got from the other shopkeeper.
