Today's Question - John was on an antique buying tour in farm country when he was called home suddenly. He was forced to sell the two items he had bought for $600 apiece. At that price he lost 20% on one and made a 20% profit on the other. On the two items did he make or lose money?

Reveal Answer Answer - (Okay so what's a little weak sentence structure between friends.) The intent was to note that he was forced to sell each item for $600. That would mean he lost 20% on one ($600 is 80% of what number = $750) and made 20% on the other ($600 is 120% of what number = $500). Thus he got back $1200 for the 2 items for which he paid $1250. So he lost $50 overall.
