    it will take around 15 weeks to for Reiko to make a profit

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Amount spent to obtain merchandise = $5,200

    Cost of general expenses = $550

    Earnings from sales per week = $900

    Now,

    Let 'x' be the number of weeks taken to make profit

    thus,

    Total cost involved = $5,200 + ($550 * x)

    Total profit from sales = $900 * x

    for making profit

    $900 * x ≥ $5,200 + ($550 * x)

    or

    350x ≥ 5,200

    or

    x ≥ 14.85 weeks

    thus,

    it will take around 15 weeks to for Reiko to make a profit
