Answer: $35

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit will be the Total Revenue less the total costs involved with selling the goods.

Total Revenue at $16 is $640.

Total Cost at $16 is $605.

Profit = 640 - 605

= $35

Note; Your question has $15 as the maximizing price which is not available in the table. It might be a typo so I attached the question.
