    After the two weekends she made $997

    Step-by-step explanation:

    * Lets explain how to solve the problem

    - The profit is the difference between the selling price and the

    cost price

    - On the weekends, Ms. James had a booth where she sold books

    - First weekend she made a profit of $1275

    - Next weekend, when she subtracted the costs of the booth,

    Ms. James lost $278

    - That means the cost price is greater than the selling price

    - To know how much she made in the two week end you must

    subtract the money she lost from her profit

    ∵ Ms. James made a profit $1275 in the first weekend

    ∵ She lost $278 in the second weekend

    - After the two weekend she made the difference between the

    two weekends

    ∴ She made = 1275 - 278 = 997

    ∴ After the two weekends she made $997
