👉 Theft math is a method used to determine the amount of money stolen in a crime by analyzing the evidence left at the scene. It involves setting up equations based on variables such as the number of stolen items, their values, and the ratio of stolen goods to total items taken. For example, if an item is worth $100 and there are 20 stolen items, the equation might be \( 100 \times 20 = S \), where \( S \) is the total stolen value. Adjustments are made for factors like discounts, sales tax, or returns, and the final equation is solved to estimate the total theft amount. This method provides a structured approach to estimate the scale of the crime, though it relies on assumptions and may not account for all variables.
