She took 100, the store has - 100

she went back and bough

70 bucks in stuff, the store has - 70

yes, she took the $100 bill and gave it, got back $30, that means she only kept $30 from the original bill.

the store however, lost the original $100 bill plus the $70 in merchandise, so they have - $170.
