closest answer.
$7 + the COST of the widget. $3 is what he's selling the widget for.
for those wondering, the vendor profited $3 from the sale of the widget. he went to the neighboring business and got exchanged a $10 bill for $10 in change. so the vendor kept $3 and gave the $7 back to the customer.
then he gave $10 to the neighboring business for that fake $10.
so $3-$10 = ($7)
