    B. You made a profit of $75.00

    Explanation:

    shares x (sale - buy)

    20 shares x (35 & 1/4 - 31 & 1/2)

    20 x (35.25-31.5)

    20 x 3.75 = 75

    The difference between purchase and sale price is positive, so eahc share yields a gain of $3.75

    We multiply this by the amount of shares to determiante the gain
