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

[tex] \frac{x}{y} =\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ----------> equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

For [tex] y=\$60[/tex]

Find the value of x

Substitute the value of y in the equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] \frac{x}{60} =\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=60*\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex] x=\$45[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

Leila make [tex] \$45[/tex] in profit
