Answer: $325 billion
Explanation:
Given: The GDP of a country was $300 billion in 2016. In 2017, consumption spending increased by $200 billion, imports increased by $150 billion, and investment fell by $25 billion
GDP = (Consumption+Investment+(Exports-Imports))
GDP in 2017 = ((GDP in 2016) +Consumption increased - investment decreased-imports increased)
= $300 billion + $200 billion - $25 billion - $150 billion
= $325 billion
Hence, the real GDP for 2017 will be $325 billion.
