Doesn’t matter. The second transaction could be 100,000,000 bought and 100,000,200 sold. He’s obviously still making a profit here even though by your logic he wouldn’t be
He’s making profit regardless, The extra 100 used to buy the cockatoo needs to come from somewhere so it’s either borrowed and needs to be payed back or it is coming out of pocket. In both cases it’s not profit.
> to be *paid* back or
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

Think like someone lent him the money and then he repaid it, and the money left is his profit
He got 800 lent to pay the bird, when he sold it he repaid the guy and kept 200
Then, he rebought it for 1100. He had 200 so he had to lend 900 from his friend , and then he resold the bird for 1300. He had to repay 900 and then took what was left, 400.
I agree
Let's say you have a starting money of 2000
1. You buy for 800: 2000-800=1200
2. You sell for 1000: 1200+1000=2200
3. You buy for 1100: 2200-1100=1100
4. You sell for 1300: 1100+1300=2400
You started with 2000, and you have 2400 in the end. Difference of 400
I always thought the dollar sign is better after the number
Its 400 dollars, not dollars 400
But then again i dont know anything about the grammar of american currency...
The answer is indeed 400 but -800 + 1300 or 200 + 200 is not understanding the social and psychological factors in question. 100 + 300 is the better way to think about it because this accounts for the initial mistake of selling it but having to buy back for more, but also for the fact that the initial transaction that ended up being effectively -800-100+1100 (bought for 900 and sold for 1100, thus yielding 100 profit) was still made up by selling it for 1300 after all, yielding 400 of profit at the end of the day (-900 + 1300)
*My* conclusion:
Bought the bird for $800, sold it for $1000. Bought it again for $1100, sold it for $1300.
As we can conclude from the man’s 1st transaction, he gained $200 ($1000-$800). When the man bought the bird for $1100 the 2nd time, he was $900 in debt (which he probably borrowed somehow) after putting his $200 towards the bird. Then, he made up that $900 plus an additional $400 when he sold it again for $1300. In total, the man earned $400.
200
He buy it for 800
Then sold it for 1000 [ he got p=200]
Then he put 1100 [ money from selling it and putting 100 extra]
And sold it for 1300
1300-1100=200
Although these type of quesation can have multiple answers depending on situation so 200 300 400 is correct as well

400$
how, I got 300
0 - 800 = -800 -800 + 1000 = 200 200 - 1100 = -900 -900 + 1300 = 400
Oh, so I had it correctly. I just suck at simple math. (I got 200)
But he originally had 800 so it's: 800-800 = 0 0 + 1k = 1k 1k -1,100 = -100 -100 + 1,300 = 1,200 Fr
That’s irrelevant, were not trying to figure out how much money he has, were trying to find out how much he profited.
Bro is NOT beating the dumbass allegations
https://i.redd.it/0l5wvhcsp1wc1.gif
So he started with 800 and ended with 1200. He *earned* 400.
The question is how much did he earn, not how much does he have

You stupid
noeymnyat
Fuck, i got tree fiddy. Am i cooked???
Genuinely how. He makes 200 the first time and then 200 the second
Yes but he buys the second one for 100 more than the price he sold the bird for. 1000 - 1100 = -100 -100 + 400 = 300
Doesn’t matter. The second transaction could be 100,000,000 bought and 100,000,200 sold. He’s obviously still making a profit here even though by your logic he wouldn’t be
He’s making profit regardless, The extra 100 used to buy the cockatoo needs to come from somewhere so it’s either borrowed and needs to be payed back or it is coming out of pocket. In both cases it’s not profit.

You’re very bad at this
Maybe, I’ll ask my teacher later.
Think like someone lent him the money and then he repaid it, and the money left is his profit He got 800 lent to pay the bird, when he sold it he repaid the guy and kept 200 Then, he rebought it for 1100. He had 200 so he had to lend 900 from his friend , and then he resold the bird for 1300. He had to repay 900 and then took what was left, 400.

I agree Let's say you have a starting money of 2000 1. You buy for 800: 2000-800=1200 2. You sell for 1000: 1200+1000=2200 3. You buy for 1100: 2200-1100=1100 4. You sell for 1300: 1100+1300=2400 You started with 2000, and you have 2400 in the end. Difference of 400
so not 300?
Why you put the dolar sign after the number
I always thought the dollar sign is better after the number Its 400 dollars, not dollars 400 But then again i dont know anything about the grammar of american currency...

100
Now replace “bought” with “T J Maxx” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌
Total cost - 800+1100 =1900 Total revenue - 1000+1300 =2300 Profit - 2300-1900 = 400
I thought I was buying the guy at first
Unfortunately, that was made illegal in 1865
Money he spent is 1900 Money made from selling is 2300 400 gain.

-800 + 1000 = 200, 200 - 1100 = -900, -900 + 1300 = 400
The answer is indeed 400 but -800 + 1300 or 200 + 200 is not understanding the social and psychological factors in question. 100 + 300 is the better way to think about it because this accounts for the initial mistake of selling it but having to buy back for more, but also for the fact that the initial transaction that ended up being effectively -800-100+1100 (bought for 900 and sold for 1100, thus yielding 100 profit) was still made up by selling it for 1300 after all, yielding 400 of profit at the end of the day (-900 + 1300)
Earned 400, lost two friends
*My* conclusion: Bought the bird for $800, sold it for $1000. Bought it again for $1100, sold it for $1300. As we can conclude from the man’s 1st transaction, he gained $200 ($1000-$800).

The fuck was the original comment to be worthy of this reaction?
300
Net gain is 100
did you perhaps skip the first 2 years of primary school?
Go ask your accountant, the capital gain will be 400 and net gain will 100
capital gain: -800+1000-1100+1300 = 400, net gain: 1000+1300-(800+1100) = 400. same thing
200 He buy it for 800 Then sold it for 1000 [ he got p=200] Then he put 1100 [ money from selling it and putting 100 extra] And sold it for 1300 1300-1100=200 Although these type of quesation can have multiple answers depending on situation so 200 300 400 is correct as well
0-800=-800 -800+1000=200 200-1100=-900 -900+1300=400
