    The correct answer is $175.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, Michelle has paid a fine of $220 including for legal advice.

    Ordinary and necessary business deduction can only deduct the expenditures related to business.

    As fine is not a business expenditure hence it can not be deducted. Legal advice can be deducted as a business expenditure.

    Hence, she can deduct $175 as an ordinary and necessary business deduction.
