A cow-themed math puzzle is making waves online, with people arguing over the correct solution. The scenario involves buying and selling a cow in a series of transactions, and the goal is to find out the total profit earned.
You buy a cow for $800 and sell it for $1,000, making $200 profit.
Then you buy it back for $1,100. Since you already made $200, your actual cost is $900.
Finally, you sell the cow for $1,300, making a total profit of $400.
Some people get tripped up by the multiple buys and sells, but the math is clear—the total profit is $400. If you got it right, you’re in the minority who cracked this deceptively simple puzzle!
