Leila makes $3 in profits for every $4 that jo makes, it means total profit=3+4=$7

in which 3/7 is profit of Leila and 4/7 profit is of jo

total profit on first sale=$105

profit of Leila=105* 3/7

                       =15*3

                      =$45

profit of jo=105* 4/7

                 =15*4

                =$60

from $105 profit of Leila is $45 and profit of jo is $60.
