A: 12 weeks
B: 13 weeks
C: 14 weeks
D: 15 weeks

Answer 1

b- 13 weeks

Explanation:

She makes $550 a week but spends $200 on merchandise so her total weekly is technically $350 in order to earn profit she has to get more than $4500

divide $4500 by $350 which you will get 12.6 but you round it to 13 meaning it would take her a maximum of 13 weeks to receive profit
