My answer is $1872.

Here's my steps.

Firstly. We knew if she sells 500$, she paid 390$. It means she will be paid about 78% from all total money.

So, we can just take 78% from 2400$, which is resulted as 1872$.

 

Here's my mathematic steps.

1. 500$ : 390$. --> 390$/500$ x 100% = 78%.

2. 78/100 x 2400$. = 1872$.
