You leave your ranch in South Texas to drive your cattle to the railroad in Abilene, Kansas. You have 2,000 head of cattle and 10 cowboys (not including you.) Along the trail, you are attacked by some cattle rustlers, the herd stampedes during a thunderstorm, and you have trouble finding water. As a result, when you get to Abilene, you have lost 10% of the herd. You sell the cattle in Abilene for $35 a head. You pay each of the cowboys $100 and the rest of the money is yours. How much did you make?

    You get $5727.27

    Step-by-step explanation:

    At the start, you have 2000

    After you are attacked, stampeded and have trouble finding water, you have lost 10% of your cattle

    2000 * 10% is 200

    2000 - 200 is 1800

    Multiply 1800 cattle by $35 per cow

    1800 * $35 = $63000

    10 cowboys + 1 (you) is 11 people

    Divide $63000 by 11

    63000 / 11 = $5727.27

    You get $5727.27
