Answer 2

given - A man stole from the store's counter Rs 2000

           he bought good for Rs.1500

to find - the amount of money the store lost.

solution -  as the man stole Rs.2000 from the store and brought goods worth Rs.1500.

so, Rs.2000 - Rs.1500 = Rs.500.

the man is left with Rs.500 .

the shop got back its Rs.1500 out of 2000.

also, the goods that he sold to the man must have some profit included.

therefore,the shop lost Rs.500 or less than it.
