A man buys a goat for $70.
He then sells the goat for $80.

Then, he buys it back again for $90 but sells it for $100.

How much money did the man make?

Consider the history of exchanges as if it were described in two separate deals where:

In the first deal, the man buys the goat for $ 70 and sells it again for $ 80, so he gets a profit of $ 10.

In the second deal, the man buys something for $ 90 and sells it again for $ 100 so he gets a profit of $ 10 again.

Conclusion: the name gets a total benefit of $ 10 + $ 10 = $ 20.

Well...that's one way to look at it. Lol.

yes, of course I think that's the answer

The way I look at it, they guy lost $10.
