Explanation:

First, we need to determine the total revenue from docking 100 boats:

$850 per boat x 100 boats = $85,000

Next, we need to determine the total cost of operating the boathouse:

$2200 (fixed cost) + $550 for each of the 100 boats = $77,200

Finally, we can calculate the monthly profit:

Revenue - Cost = $85,000 - $77,200 = $7,800

Therefore, the answer is option C: $27,800.
