To my mind he's only up $10. It is true that he made $10 on both sales, but the second purchase cost him $10 more than he made on the first sale.

 

i can see the logic behind saying up $20, but I don't agree with it.

Total sale price - Total purchase price = the answer

After 28 years teaching ... and forced to change every 7 to a 'new and improved' ...I am thoroughly convinced ..all the new 'methodology' was to sell books to administrators.

Another retired math teacher here...you are correct re: the 7-year cycle of change. We used to just shake our heads and then “buggered on.”
