Ok so first we look at the tires. She bought two for $35 each and that adds up to $70. Then she sold them for $65 each and that adds up to $130. We actually have to subtract 130 from 70 because she gained back the money spent, and then had extra. When you watch Storage Wars, you get good at knowing this stuff. So 130-70=60. So now Emma has $60 in her back pocket.

Next, we have the rims. She bought three for $75, which adds up to $225. Then she sold them for $136 each, which adds up to $408. Again, subtract 225 from 408. So, 408-225=183. Now Emma has another $183 in her pocket.

Finally, five headlights for $4 each comes out to $20. Selling them for $15 each comes out to $75. So 75-25=50. Emma made $50 from that sale.

And now, we add up the total from her three sales. 60+183+50=293. Emma's total profit is $293.
