Leila and Jo are two of the partners in a business. Leila makes $4 in profits for every $5 that Jo makes. If Jo makes $60 profit, how much profit does Leila make?

Leila would make a profit of $48

Step-by-step explanation:

~ Knowing that there is some sort of proportion that can be formed through Leila and Jo's profit, we could form even a proportionality to compute the profit Leila makes given jo's profit of $60 ~

If is is known that Leila: Jo, 4: 5, we could form such a proportion:

4                5       ⇒     where x - Leila's profit knowing Jo's profit of $60

x               60

Now let us solve for x, through cross multiplication:

5x = 60 * 4,

5x = 240,

x = profit of $48

answer: 0

step-by-step explanation: the positive, like 5, + its opposite, like -5 would be 0

5+(-5)=0, or 5-5=0
