Solution to: Horse Trade

Consider the trade-story as if it describes two separate trades, where:

Conclusion: The man makes an overall profit of $10 + $10 = $20.

You can also look at the problem as follows: the total expenses are $60 + $80 = $140 and the total earnings are $70 + $90 = $160. The overall profit is therefore $160 - $140 = $20.
