She made $6599.45 profit by selling her shares.

Gain or loss can be computed as: selling price - initial purchase price.

Positive outcome means gain, while negative outcome means loss.

Information about the problem:

Number of shares = 355

Initial purchase price per share = $31.29

Selling price = $49.88

Profit or loss per share =  selling price - initial purchase price

                                      =  $49.88 -  $31.29 = $18.59

Positive outcome means she get profit from selling her shares.

Since she bought 355 shares, we need to multiply the profit per share by the number of shares.
