Answer:

200.

Explanation:

I know math. But if you want an explanation, here it is.

First, you have to add 25 to 125 because you're trying to gain 25 more dollars than 125 dollars to make up for the money you already spent. Next, you need to dive 150, the result of 125 plus 25, by .75 because you're trying to figure out how many goods you need to sell for .75 cents, to get 150 dollars. So, you do the division, and the answer is 200 dollars.
