No, the grain comes to the mill in a different form. We have to know the reduction in volume that occurs during the milling.

Unknown ...Which transaction? Or all three combined?
Since we don't know what he paid originally (before he sold for $90)
then we can only assume

It doesn't make any sense, so I'll say $190. That's probably this book's answer.

"The hunter walked around the tree"
Was he on horseback? Did he get the horse from this guy?

Of course (a horse a horse) we could wonder about any original price, but I don't think you're supposed to add elements to a story problem. Maybe he got a horse for his birthday...this book isn't the SATs. There's an answer.

Any simple math I do agrees with BigV...110, but then we get into the "too easy" category.

$20. Had $90 at first, $110 last.

He would have $110 if he also still had the horse.

But what did he pay for it initially?

And I'm still not done with that circular squirrel yet....

The tree is only the existential quantifier of your circular squirrel.
Take it out of the equation and the logic is obvious.
