The shopkeeper gets the change from the next shop and keeps 200 for himself and returns rs.800 to d lady. Later the shopkeeper of the next shop comes with the 1000rs note saying "duplicate" and takes his money back. "How much LOSS did the shopkeeper face ?"

Answer 1

He is out the $200 worth of goods, the $800 he gave as change, and the $1000 the other shopkeeper took back.  

 

200+800+1000 = $2000
