Respuesta :

Answer:

Leila makes $35 profit.                

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Leila makes $5 in profits for every $8 that Jo makes

That means by unitary method for every  $1 that jo makes  leila makes [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

We need to find for $56 of jo how much profit does leila makes

Profit that leila makes for $56 is [tex]\frac{5}{8}\cdot 56=35[/tex]

That means Leila makes $35 profit.
