Leila and Jo are two of the partners in a business. Leila makes $3 in profits for every $4 that Jo makes. If Jo makes $60 profit on the first item they sell, how much profit does Leila make?

Lelia makes $45 in profits Because: you first have to find what x 4= 60 (15) then you multiply that by 3 and you get the answer ( 15x4=60- Jo's profit 15x3=45- Leila's profit)

Let
x-------> Leila 's profit
y------> Jo's profit
we know that
y x ​ = 4 3 ​ ----------> equation 1
For y = $60
Find the value of x
Substitute the value of y in the equation 1
60 x ​ = 4 3 ​
x = 60 ∗ 4 3 ​
x = $45
therefore
the answer is
Leila make $45 in profit

Leila makes $45 in profit when Jo makes $60. This is determined using their profit ratio of 3 to 4. By substituting Jo's profit into the ratio, we find Leila's profit to be $45.
