    private saving = $2700

    Explanation:

    given data

    GDP = $10,000

    Consumption = $6,000

    Government spending = $1,500

    deficit = $200

    solution

    we know here equation of GDP that is express as

    GDP = Consumption + investment + Government spending ... 1

    we consider here tax revenue that is = T

    T - Government spending = - deficit

    T = Government spending - deficit

    T = $1500 - $200

    T = $1300

    so we can say from equation 1

    (GDP - Consumption - T) + (T - Government spending) = investment

    and investment = private saving + public saving

    so private saving will be

    private saving = GDP - Consumption - tax revenue ... 2

    private saving = $10000 - $6000 - $1300

    private saving = $2700
