Well, just take a look at your numbers - you bought something for 750 dollars, and then decided to sell it. You sold that particular item for 1500 dollars, which means that you sold it for a higher price than you bought it. To see how much you gained, just subtract those numbers:
1500 - 750 = 750
So, the correct answer is cash increases by $750.
