Mike and the Bike (Posted on 2003-07-26) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Mike wanted to buy a bike, and he found one he liked at $20, so he bought it. The next day, a friend saw it and offered $30 dollars for it so Mike agreed. He later bought it back for $40. Again someone saw it and offered $50 and again Mike sold it. Mike finally rebought the bike for good for $60. Mike then took it to a bike show where a man told him the bike was worth $40.

Deciding to keep it, did Mike gain or lose money on the transactions? Count the bikes worth in the problem.

You can't really interpret the instructions that way, because it says to include the worth of the bike, which isn't done in that solution.
