    Savings = Y-C

    But Y = C + I + G

    C = G + byd; 100 + 0.5yd

    Yd = Y-T

    T = 50

    I = 100

    G = 100

    Y = 100 + 0.5 (y-50) + 100 + 100

    Y = 100 + 0.5y - 25 + 200

    Y = 300 - 25 + 0.5y

    Y-0.5y = 275

    Y (1-0.5) = 275

    Y (0.5) = 275

    Y = 275/0.5

    Y = 550

    But Y = C + S

    So, S = Y - C

    Y - C = 550 - (100+0.5yd) = S

    Y - C = 550 - (100+0.5 (Y-50) = S

    Y - C = 550 - (100+0.5y-25) = S

    Y - C = 550 - (100+0.5y - 25) = S

    Since Y = 550

    Y-C = 550 - (100+0.5 (550) - 25) = S

    Y-C = 550 - (100 + 275 - 25) = S

    Y - C = 550 - 100-275+25 = S

    Y-C = 550 - 350 = S

    Y - C = 200 = S

    Y-C = Savings = S = 200

    Therefore, savings at the equilibrium level of output is 200
