The cypress trees will earn Gloria 20 trees * $100 / tree = $2000. From the sale of the cypress trees, Gloria will also make 600 trees * $200 / tree = $120000. Finally, the maple trees will bring in 24 trees * $300 / tree = $7200. Combining all the amounts will give Gloria a total of $150 + $2000 + $120000 + $7200 = $129350. Subtracting the cost of the mountain cabin from the total will leave Gloria with a balance of $129350 - $129000 = $350.
The answer: 350
