Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:took the test and got right

Answer 2

for profit her costs must be less than income. so costs < income
her costs are $4500 + $200 multiplied by number of weeks (w)
= $4500 + $200w
and her income is $550 multiplied by number of weeks (w)
= $550w
so for profit $4500 + $200 < $550w
hence A
