In the given question, there are several information's of immense importance. The information's are:
Cost Price of a stock of Bree Medical Supply = 31 1/2
                                                                         = 63/2 dollars
Cost at which the 20 stocks of Bree Medical Company bought = (63/2) * 20
                                                                                                     = 630 dollars
Sale price of each stock = 35 1/4 dollars
Sale price of each stock = 141/4 dollars
Sale price of 20 stocks = (141/4) * 20
                                      = 705 dollars
Then amount of profit made = (705 - 630) dollars
                                              = 75 dollars
So it can said that the statement you made a profit of $75 and so option "D" is the correct option.
