Answer 1

Answer:

Leila makes the profit of $33.

Step-by-step 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;

$\frac{\textrm{Profit make by Leila}}{\textrm{Profit make by Jo}} = \frac{3}{4}$

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

So we can say that;

$\frac{\textrm{Profit make by Leila}}{88} = \frac{3}{4}$

On Solving the equation we get;

$\textrm{Profit make by Leila} = \frac{3}{4}\times 88 = \ 33$

Hence Leila makes the profit of $33.
