First, determine the train of thought. When customers take out counterfeit banknotes from 200 yuan, the meat boss will compensate 200 yuan at most, and it is wrong to surpass 200 yuan!
How much did the butcher lose? Let's calculate:
The price of meat is one kilogram of 48 yuan and one kilogram of 72 yuan. The customer bought 2 kilograms, that is, 96 yuan, and gave the customer 200- 144=56 yuan. The customer got 96 yuan +56 yuan = 152 yuan.
I borrowed 200 yuan change from my neighbor, and there is still 144 yuan left, so I can make up for 56 yuan and return it to my neighbor.
To sum up, the meat boss lost * * * 152 yuan.
