Answer:

d. $300.00

Explanation:

Given that a cosmetologist must double her salary before the employer can realize any profit from his/her work, for Miss. Mead to realize $50.00 profit on her work, you would have to determine the amount that doubles the salary of the cosmetologist and add the $50 needed as profit:

$250+$50= $300

According to this, the answer is that for Mead to realize $50.00 profit on her work, Miss. Brown must take $300.
