$100.
He stole the $100 from the store. They've now lost $100.
He buys $70 worth of stuff from them, which is an even transaction (they get $70 but lose $70 worth of merchandise).
The original theft of the $100 is their loss. Everything after that is normal business activity.
I vaguely remember us discussing this here before.
The easiest way to think about this is just imagine when the guy steals the $100, and then he walks outside and puts that $100 bill in the glove compartment of his parked car.
Then he goes back in and buys some stuff for $70 using other money he had in his wallet. Then he leaves.
Clearly the store is out that $100 he originally took. The $70 was just a regular transaction where they gained $70 in cash and handed over $70 of merchandise to a customer. They're still down the original $100 either way.
It's more of a question that tries to trick you than one that is difficult to understand.

There is a word in the English language in which the first two letters signify a male, the first three letters signify a female, the first four signify a great man, and the whole word, a great woman. What is the word?
