Final answer:

Max's actual profit cannot be determined without knowing his costs, but we know his minimum required amount is $50 and he was offered $55. Without cost details, none of the provided answer options is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question is about determining Max's profit from cleaning and detailing a car, based on the information given. The profit can be calculated by subtracting any costs from the received payment.

However, since the question does not provide information on Max's costs, no specific costs can be subtracted from the offered price.

The price offered by Max's neighbor is $55, which he accepts, and this is above Max's minimum required amount of $50. However, without knowing Max's costs, we cannot accurately determine Max's actual profit.

As none of the provided options (a. $1 b. $50 c. $75 d. $105 e. $55 f. None of these) are correct without additional cost information, the answer is 'None of these is correct.'

The question asks for Max's profit, which is the amount of money he will earn after cleaning and detailing his neighbor's car. Max agreed to clean the car for a price of $55, and his minimum requirement is $50. Since he is getting more than the minimum, his profit will be the agreed price of $55.
