A man buys a goat for $60, sells it for $70....

[TillWeDie]

Let's realize he got 90 bucks in the end. If he had to borrow that 10 for 2nd buy...then he pays homie off.

Now...80 bucks in hand at the end of day. (90-10)


Started with 60 at the very start (if assuming all he had was 60 )

80 - 60 is 20

and

if he started with a bunch of money or even just a $100 (as explained before in here) then its just two different transactions both getting a 10 dollar profit.

10 + 10 = 20

or look at like -60 +70-80+90 ..simplified -140 + 160 and that is also 20

$10

Assuming he previously had the $60 in cash and the other $80 in cash as well



Not enough information



He spent $140
He made back $160

$20 difference

Stock sold for $70
Stock bought for $60
Profit is $10

Stock sold for $90
Stock bought for $80
Profit is $10

Total $20 profit

There is no borrowing involved

It's weird that both of y'all existed at the same time.


Reminds me of when @SATAN , @ALMIGHTY GOD , and @BlackJesus were chiming in on the same thread back in 2020.
