RIDDLE 26: POOR EDWARD

Edward is a very busy man who works in a chain of stores. As usual, yesterday he came back home at eight o’ clock p.m. He was so tired that he decided to go to bed immediately, after setting the alarm clock for eight a.m. But, as he was half asleep, he set it for nine p.m. An hour later, when the alarm clock rang, he woke up and got up to have a glass of water and something to eat, since that evening he hadn’t had dinner. When he opened his bedroom door, he saw that everything was completely upside down. Some burglars had broken into his house. Then he ran to see if his savings were still there. At home he had 5000 euros in total: in his safe he found 1700 euros, in his wallet 300 euros, in his closet 200 euros. After that, he went out and found, scattered, throughout the garden, other 400 euros, which the burglars had surely lost while taking flight.
1. How much money is left to Edward?

2. How much money have the burglars stolen?
