You are making this way too hard. Assign the fake bill a value of zero.
He received a fake bill. ($0)
He gave away a sweater (minus one sweater)
He traded fake bill for $100 (plus $100)
He gives the customer change (minus $79)
He reimburses neighbor (minus $100)
Add it up: $0 + $100 - $79 - $100 - sweater
He is out $79 plus whatever value you assign to the sweater.
