$ 15 $ 20
$ 25 $ 30

Profit = $ 5

Less = $ 20
Profit = $ 30

Give back the money that you borrow from your friend. So, $ 30 - $ 20 = $ 10

Profit = $ 10

METHOD 2 : Work backwards

$ 30 - $ 25 = $ 5
$ 20 - $ 15 = $ 5 Total : $ 5 + $ 5 = $ 10

METHOD 3 :
There are two person. Each person have $50.

You buy the stamp for $15 from your friend.


You - $ 50 - $ 15 = $ 35 Friend - $ 50 + $ 15 = $65

Your friend buys the stamp for $20.

You - $ 35 + $ 20 = $55
Friend - $ 65 - $ 20 = $45

You buy the stamp for $25 You $ 55 - $ 25 = $30

Friend - $ 45 + $ 25 = $70

You friend buys the stamp for $30


You $ 30 + $ 30 = $60 Friend $ 70 - $ 30 = $40
