TEST YOUR IQ with this simple task from Leo Tolstoy! :)

Task for the second class of the church parochial schools in Russia created by Leo Tolstoy
Today only 30 % of senior pupils, only 20 % of students of HIGH SCHOOLS and only 10 % of workers of banks and credit establishments can
solve correctly solve this task.

The seller sells a cap. Costs 10 rubles. The buyer approaches, try on and agree to take. But he has only 25 rubles. The seller sends a
boy with these 25 rubles to the neighbor to exchange. The boy comes back and gives 10+10+5 rubles.

The seller gives a cap and a 15 roubles change. Through some time the neighbor comes and speaks that the 25 rubles were false and
demands to give her money back. What to do..? The seller opens cash desk and returns her the money.

A question: on how many was deceived the seller?

1 minute is given on the decision.
