Answer:

the girl lost $30

Explanation:

she bought it for 10 but when she sold it for 15 she only got 5 dollars back. so she's still down 5.

Then she buys it for 20 and then sells it for 25. when she does this she again only gets 5 dollars back.

She lost 10 the first time and another 20 the next.

so in total she lost 30 dollars

Thats just evil for the poor puppy but anyway...

She made $40 15+25=40

She lost $ 30 10+20=30

40-30=10

since 10 is positive and not negative, she made $10
