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

\(\frac{x}{y} =\frac{3}{4}\) ----------> equation \(1\)

For \(y=\$60\)

Find the value of x

Substitute the value of y in the equation \(1\)

\(\frac{x}{60} =\frac{3}{4}\)

\(x=60*\frac{3}{4}\)

\(x=\$45\)

therefore

the answer is

Leila make \(\$45\) in profit
