To find Jane's profit, we need to calculate her total earnings from selling bracelets and subtract her expenses for materials.

With Option A, Jane made three sales at $6 per 5 bracelets. So, she earned 3 * $6 = $<<3*6=18>>18 from Option A sales.

With Option B, Jane made six sales at $4 per 3 bracelets. So, she earned 6 * $4 = $<<6*4=24>>24 from Option B sales.

Therefore, Jane's total earnings from selling bracelets are $18 + $24 = $<<18+24=42>>42.

Jane's expenses for materials were $30.

To find her profit, we subtract her expenses from her earnings: $42 - $30 = $<<42-30=12>>12.

So, the numerical expression that results in Jane's profit is (3 * 6 + 6 * 4) - 30, and Jane's profit was $12.

The correct answer is C) (3⋅6+6⋅4)−30; Jane’s profit was $12.
