Answer:

C

Explanation:

$6500 is a one time purchase so there is no variable attached.

$550 and $900 per week is reoccurring so there will be a variable attached.

Since $900 is what she is making each week, this will be separate from her costs (can eliminate D).

To make a profit, her amount earned will need to be greater than her expenses, so the answer is C.
