Solve using equivalent ratios. Leila and Joe are two partners in a business. Leila makes $5 in profits for every $9 that
Jo makes. If Jo makes $36 profit on the first item they sell, how much profit does Leila
make?

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Leila to Jo: $5/$9

Leila to Jo: x/$36

5/9 = x/36

Cross multiply.

9x = 5 * 36

Divide both sides of the equation by 9.

x = 5 * 4

x = 20

$20
