Bellringer #61 A man buys a pair of shoes for $10 and gives the owner a $20 bill. Having no change, the owner goes to the barber next door, gets the change and gives the customer $10 and the shoes. Later the barber tells him that the $20 was counterfeit so the shoe store owner gives the barber $20. If the shoes actually cost the shoe store owner $5, how much did he lose on the whole affair?
Solution #61 • $15. The $20 back and forth with the barber cancels out so he simply gave the customer $10 in cash and shoes which had cost him $5. Free template from www.brainybetty.com
