She saw the numbers upside down. It was actually
86 written on envelope but she read it as 98. So she was short of
4 dollars because 90 - 86 = 4.

Some different answers:
There wasnt 98 dollars in the envelope there was only
the number 98 written on the envelope.
She could have been $90 less because the number 98 could also stand
as the year or past year.
She was short 89$ an 11 cents because the number on the envelope stands
for cents.
I.M.P.O.S.S.I.B.L.E.
Some one stole 9 dollars
98 was the number of her room that the envelopr was to go to.
