Josh Mcneil · Answer 1

The owner lost $100 ($ 30 cash and $70 worth of goods)

think about it ... she stole $ 100 ... but then the $ 100 was given back to the store ... so she basically exchanged the $ 100 for $ 70 worth of goods and $ 30 cash.

Paige Hayes · Answer 2

-100-70+100-30=-100

I included the value of the merchandise that she "purchased", so the owner lost $100 in total value.
