Question

Leila and jo are two of the partners in a business Leila makes $3 in profit for every $4 that job makes if the first item sold is $88 how much profit does Leila make

Answer 1

Leila makes the profit of $33.

Explanation:

Given:

Leila and Jo are two of the partners in a business.

Also Leila makes $3 in profit for every $4 that Jo makes.

So we can say that;

`\frac{\textrm{Profit make by Leila}}{\textrm{Profit make by Jo}} = (3)/(4)`

We need to find the profit make by Leila when Jo make a Profit of $88.

So we can say that;

`\frac{\textrm{Profit make by Leila}}{88} = (3)/(4)`

On Solving the equation we get;

`\textrm{Profit make by Leila} = (3)/(4)* 88 = \$33`

Hence Leila makes the profit of $33.
