Emma operates a pomegranate orchard in central California. She pays her workers $248 per week to pick and process pomegranates, and she sells her pomegranates for $6 per bushel. If she adds one more worker and that worker can pick and process 44 bushels per week, what will be the profit for Emma from hiring that worker?

The additional worker can pick and process 44 bushels per week, generating $6 * 44 = $264 in revenue. Subtracting the worker's weekly pay of $248 from this amount gives a profit of $264 - $248 = $16.
