Answer:
$(23)/(21)\ \text{Jugs of tea}$

Explanation:

Given

Quin made three and four seventh jugs of sweet tea i.e.
$3 (4)/(7)=(3* 7+4)/(7)=(25)/(7)\ jugs$

She sold two and one-third jugs i.e.
$2 (1)/(3)=(2* 3+1)/(3)=(7)/(3)\ jugs$

Remaining tea=
$(25)/(7)-(7)/(3)=(24* 3-7* 7)/(21)\\$

$=(72-49)/(21)=(23)/(21)\ \text{Jugs of tea}$
