Answer: 9000 - 1 significant figure

Explanation: Since you are multiplying, the number with the least amount of significant figures determines the number of significant figures in the answer. The number 9 has 1 significant figure and 1025 and has 4 significant figures so 9 has the fewest significant figures, meaning your answer will be 1 significant figure.
