@1 soru hatalı.
aslı şöyle bir şey;
A man goes into a shoestore and buys a pair of shoes for $5. He pays
with a counterfeit $20 bill but the shoestore owner does not realize
it. Not having change for the $20 bill, the owner runs to the grocer
next door. The grocer gives the shoestore owner four $5 bills and the
shoestore owner gives the man the shoes and $15 change.
Later the grocer comes back to the shoestore owner with the FBI and
informs him that the $20 bill was counterfeit, so the shoestore owner
gives the grocer $20, and the FBI keeps the counterfeit bill.
How much did the shoestore owner lose?

ve cevabı da:
You can diagram the situation this way, with C for the counterfeit
bill and S for the shoes:
Buyer Shoestore Owner Grocer FBI
-C ---> +C
-C ---> +C
+$20 <--- -$20
+S+$15 <--- -S-$15
-$20 ---> +$20
-C ---> +C
===
=
==
-C+S+$15 -S-$15 +0 +C
Let's think about what everyone has gained or lost:
The buyer lost a counterfeit bill, and gained a pair of shoes and $15.
The shoestore lost a pair of shoes and $15 (the counterfeit bill just
passed through, and the extra $20 just paid for the 4 $5 bills).
The grocer came out even.
The FBI gained a counterfeit bill.
Technically, the shoestore didn't lose $20, since the shoes didn't
actually cost the store $5. We can't say how much money they actually
lost.

yani, satıcının ayakkabıyı toptancıdan kaç para vererek aldığını bilmediğimiz için kesin bir cevap veremeyiz. ama 50 liradan daha düşük, 15 liradan daha fazla olduğunu söyleyebiliriz.
