    80%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The original cost per front-foot was ...

    $25000/150 = $500/3

    The percentage profit relative to the initial investment is ...

    profit percent = ((new value) / (old value) - 1) * 100%

    profit percent = (300 / (500/3) - 1) * 100% = (9/5 - 1) * 100% = 80%

    Speculator made 80% profit on the investment.
