“A man buys a goat for $60 then he sells it for $70 then he buys it back for $80 but sells it for $90. How much money did he make?”
ANSWER:
To answer the question of how much money the man made:
- First Transaction:
- Buys the goat for $60.
- Sells the goat for $70.
- Profit from this transaction: $70 – $60 = $10.
- Second Transaction:
- Buys the goat back for $80.
- Sells the goat again for $90.
- Profit from this transaction: $90 – $80 = $10.
- Total Profit:
- Adding the profits from both transactions: $10 + $10 = $20.
Therefore, the man made a total profit of $20.
Short Solution:
-60+70-80+90=20
