It’s not that difficult. This riddle was made for autists trying to complicate two simple money transactions.AtiliusRegulus wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 5:14 pmyou hang out with snoop oftenTitan18 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 5:09 pm Two transactions of $200 profit = $400
People spaz out too much about the fact that the same cow was bought. If I bought a cow for 800 and sold for 1000 I made 200. If I then bought a horse for 1100 and sold it for 1300 I also made 200. The first transaction has noting to do with the second.

Re: Math Riddle
You only have 900 capital invested in this series of transactions.AtiliusRegulus wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 4:50 pm 1000- 800 =200 profit. take the original capital of 800 +200 + own savings of 100 to buy the cow again =$1,1000. You are now out $100 as your new investment over and above your capital of 1000 which is made up of your original 800 capital and 200 profit. you sell the cow for 1300. Initial profit seems to be $200 but since you reached into your savings to poney up an extra $100. your profit is really $100.
you made $100 on the transaction. you should have stopped after you sold the cow for $1000
800 + 100 = 900
1300 - 900 = 400

Re: Math Riddle
your $200 profit from the first transaction is consolidated with your original capital of $800 to become $1,000. you then put together equity of $100, to become your capital of $1,100 to purchase the cow again.LeBronMonsterDunk wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 5:26 pmYou only have 900 capital invested in this transaction.AtiliusRegulus wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 4:50 pm 1000- 800 =200 profit. take the original capital of 800 +200 + own savings of 100 to buy the cow again =$1,1000.

Again, your autism is getting to worked up over the fact it’s the same cow. End of day it’s two separate transactions.AtiliusRegulus wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 5:33 pmyour $200 profit from the first transaction is consolidated with your original capital of $800 to become $1,000. you then put together equity of $100, to become your capital of $1,100 to purchase the cow again.LeBronMonsterDunk wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 5:26 pmYou only have 900 capital invested in this transaction.AtiliusRegulus wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 4:50 pm 1000- 800 =200 profit. take the original capital of 800 +200 + own savings of 100 to buy the cow again =$1,1000.

No different then if instead of the same cow twice you bought a cat for 800 and a dog for 1100 and then sold the cat for 1000 and the dog for 1300.
Total money out = 1900. Total money in = 2300. Profit of $400.

New cow cost is $1,100 which is comprised of initial investment of $800 + profit from first sale of $200 + $100 in new equity.

Re: Math Riddle
Update net change in cash position is $300 not $100 as I initially calculated.
New purchase price is composed of $800 initial capital + $200 initial profit + $100 in new equity = $1100.
Sale price is $1300 net profit is $200 + $200 initial
Profit - new equity $100= $300
New purchase price is composed of $800 initial capital + $200 initial profit + $100 in new equity = $1100.
Sale price is $1300 net profit is $200 + $200 initial
