A Simple Maths Question

一天有个年轻人来到王老板的店里买了一件礼物,这件礼物成本是18元,标价是21元。
  
结果是这个年轻人掏出100元要买这件礼物,王老板当时没有零钱,用那100元向街坊换了100元的零钱,找给年轻人79元.
  
但是街坊后来发现那100元是假钞,王老板无奈还了街坊100元.
  
现在问题是:
  
王老板在这次交易中到底损失了多少钱??

99 out of 100 university student got this question wrong.

Just think like this..

If the $100 note is real.. He would have gain $21 but end up it's not.. so he have to fork out another $79

So it's -$79 then he need to factor in the cost price which is -$18 so total $97
