There is no way to tell the profit. You told us how many wreaths he MADE, but not how many he SOLD.
If he made 20 wreaths at a cost of $7.85 each for a total cost of $157, and sold NONE of them for a total revenue of $0, then his profit would be negative $157.
On the other hand if he sold all of them at $20 each he would have a total revenue of $400, and revenue minus cost = profit.
