‘A man buys a goat’ riddle
A man buys a goat for $60.
Then, he sells it for $70.
Then, he buys it back at $80 but sells it again for $90.
How much did he make?
Answer revealed
He made $20.
$70-$60=$10. So, the man made $10 the first time.
He then made $10 the second time, because $90-$80=$10.
Therefore, he made a total of $20.
The transactions are separate and completely unrelated.
The price of the goat has nothing to do with the riddle as this isn’t a cash flow problem, it’s a profit question!
