    Investment 175

    Explanation:

    Calcualted from Income:

    GDP = C + G + I

    350 = 100 + 75 + I

    I = 350 - 100 - 75

    I = 175

    The income comes from consumption, the goverment or through invesment

    Calculated from savings: Investment = Savings

    Savings = public saving + private savings

    Savings = (taxes - gov spending) + (income - consumption - taxes)

    Savings = (60 - 75) + (350 - 100 - 60)

    Savings = - 15 + 190 = 175

    To invest, we need to save, the public savings is the difference between the taxes colelcted and the gov spending

    Then, the private savings are what is left after consuming and paying taxes.
