300
800+200=1000 1000-1100 = -100 -100+1300 = 1200 1200-900= 300
As it was how much did I earn
So you had to invest 900 witch has to be take away as it isn’t profit witch would leave you 300 for 900 invested
Honestly the amount off people that shouldn’t start a business is unbelievable also as for a accountant I would walk it straight out the door for my business paying extra tax |

Erm….
You invested 900 of your own money, you ended up with 1300 from final proceeds |

You've taken the additional £100 investment off twice.
First here, -100 + 1300 = 1200 which is correct, but then you take it into account again when you deduct 900 in the final sum.

Cost off goods was 900 not 800 honestly how is it so hard to understand do it in a calculater
800+200 = 1000 1000-1100 = -1000 -100+1300 is 1200 then you you payed 800 for the first cow and had to add 100 to buy the second cow witch now brings the total cost off goods to 900 this is whare people go wrong they are not take the cost off goods in to factor
The 900 invested was you own money it isn’t taxes your earnings is 300
1200-900

But you've already taken the additional £100 off when you reduce the £1300 down to £1200, so you only take £800 from that figure.

I was watching this unfold last night.
The answer will depend on how you define 'earn' surely?
Takings?
Turnover?
Profit?
To be fair it was a rubbish question! |

It’s one of those social media questions that are designed to have multiple answers depending on how you interpret them.
This one I’ve seen on Twitter for many weeks now.
It’s done because the more replies / clicks the poster gets on Twitter / Insta / Fakebook whatever, the more revenue they get from their monetised accounts!

No I make it simpler
You make 100 profits on the first cow as your 100 short for the next cow and you make 200 profit on the second cow for a total off 300 |

You don't make 100 profit on the first cow, all £200 profit goes towards the £1100 you have to pay for the second cow (with an additional £100 investment).
If you start the day with £900 in your pocket. Then buy a cow for £800, you have
Cash in pocket: £100
Cows: 1
You sell the cow for £1000 so you have
Cash in pocket: £1100
Cows: 0
You buy another cow for £1100, so you have
Cash in pocket: £0
Cows: 1
You sell the cow for £1300, so you have
Cash in pocket: £1300
Cows: 0
If you put the original £900 back in the jar for tomorrow's cow trading you have £400 in your pocket.

Original Problem
I bought a cow for £800
I sold it for £1000
I bought it back for £1100
I sold it again for £1300
How much did I earn ?
I say a) you earned nothing but you made £400 over all transactions. |

You didn’t earn 400 as you had to add 100 off your own money back in to get the second cow witch reduce the first cow’s profits to 100
How can you by a cow for 1100 if you only have a total off 1000 your going to need to borrow 100 watch needs to be payed back witch means your total profits are 300 |

Does it make any difference if I buy both cows first and then sell them?
For example if I bought both cows for £800 and then £1100 I have spent £1900. Do you agree with that?
If I then sell both cows, one for £1000 and the other for £1300 that means I have got £2300 back. Happy with that?
The profit is the difference I have got in less what I paid out: £2300 - £1900 = £400
Are you happy with that? |

I’m sure some people are trolling deliberately! 
(p.s. it’s 400. 900 of OWN money out, plus 1300 final revenue back in is the short answer, Beefs answer up there is the long one  ) |

I have £2,500 in the bank.
I buy a cow for £800 so that leaves me with £1,700.
Then I sell the cow for £1000 and that leaves me with £2700
I then buy the cow again for £1100 giving me a balance of £1,600.
I then sell it for £1300 giving me a balance of £2900
As I started with 2,500 and ended up with 2,900 overall I am in profit by £400 |

If you bought two cows at the same time time, I can see the result being £400, but you didn't. |

Humour me. Assume OP lends me £1000 which I then give back at the end. How much do I make in that scenario? |

They said ...... I bought a cow for 800. |

Sorry your missing a 100 you can’t by the second cow without add in 100 off your own money reduces the first cows profits to 100 because you only made 200 and were short 100 |

"Natalie.
The question is deliberately framed without sufficient information.
Where the extra 100 comes from is one such shortfall"
You buy the first cow at 800 you sell it for 1000 = 200 profits
You are now 100 short off the second cow as it is 1100
Even with your 200 profit you are still a 100 short
So you add 100 off your own money witch in turn reducing the first cow’s profits off to 100
And then you sell the second cow for 1300 for a profit off 200
In total you put in 900 off your own money

Witch in turn means the first cow really cost you 900 not 800 witch means you only made 100 profit |
