How much profit does Buyer A make if his house appreciates 25% after purchasing it for $300,000?

  1. $75,000

  2. $60,000

  3. $50,000

  4. $100,000

The correct answer is: $75,000

When a house appreciates by 25%, it means its value has increased by 25%. If Buyer A purchased the house for $300,000, a 25% increase would mean the value of the house is now $300,000 + (0.25 * $300,000) = $375,000. Therefore, the profit made by Buyer A would be $375,000 - $300,000 = $75,000. The other options are incorrect because - Option B ($60,000) is not the correct profit as it only reflects a 20% increase instead of 25%. - Option C ($50,000) is not the correct profit as it only reflects a 16.67% increase instead of 25%. - Option D ($100,000) is not the correct profit as it only reflects a 33.33%
