A Simple Maths Question That Many Highly Educated People Get It Wrong

I bought a book at RM8.
After I read it, I sold it to my Alex at the price of RM9.
But, I regretted and purchased from Alex at RM11 again.
Thereafter, I sold it to Alvin at RM12.

So, how much did I earn or loss?


































Answer: RM2 profit

Let's assume that I have RM10 at the beginning.

Bought at RM8: RM2 left.
Sold at RM9: RM11 left.
Bought at RM11: RM0 left.
Sold at RM12: RM12 left.

I got RM12 now.
Comparing to RM10 that I have at the beginning,
I earned RM2.
