Answer: $5 billion

Explanation:

First find the spending multiplier which is a multiplier that shows how Aggregate demand increases as a result of additional spending.

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - Marginal propensity to consume)

= 1 / ( 1 - 0.8)

= 5

If the government wants to raise Aggregate demand by $25 billion, they should spend:

Increase in AD = Amount * Multiplier

25 billion = Amount * 5

Amount = 25 / 5

= $5 billion
