Answer: $220

Explanation:

Paying is spending, so it is "-"

Earning is gaining money, so it is "+"

Considering this, -55 + (+275)

|-55|-|275|

55-275, we rearrange that expression to have a subtraction expression that is going to have a positive difference since profit cannot be expressed in negative numbers.

So,

275-55=220, and all you have to do is add the "$" and you're good to go!
