paperwarior 03/02/18 12:54:08 PM #14:	I guess if you wanted to get a different answer you could say he lost $10 selling and rebuying the horse.

like all of full throttle's math questions, the "confusion" results from ambiguity, whether that ambiguity be about the way something is written or symbology or what the question is looking for. In this case, it doesn't specify whether or not the answer should be net profit or net income. I mean, clearly it should be the net profit, ie, how much money he has at the end compared to how much he spent, but you'll always find people who will die a thousand times on the hill of their interpretation.

160 isn't even a poll option, though. Besides which, that interpretation only makes sense if the question is strictly "how much did he make?" As soon as you throw "or lose", as well as "or did he break even", it no longer holds water.

Let's pretend this is two different things and not the same horse. He buys item A for $60 and makes $10 profit. He then makes $10 profit on item B, which he bought for $80. Therefore, he makes $20 total, $10 on each item.

The thing that trips morons up is that it's the same horse. They need to treat it as if it's two different transactions, each with its own profit.
