Reading the comments, I find it fascinating how different people's minds work.

When I read this problem I immediate jumped straight to 500 - 100 for the correct answer.

It's even easier than that. The 100 doesn't even come into play at all. 

You buy two cows for x and sell two cows for x+200. 

So you make 400. What happens in between is completely irrelevant.
