PLSSSSSSS HELP ASAP I IS DEAD

Larry’s pet store made $30 before a pipe burst and he had to close early to get it fixed. He realized that he lost Three-fourths of a dollar each hour that the store was closed. If the expression that models this situation is 30 Negative three-fourths x, what is Larry’s profit if the store was closed for 8 hours?

Answer:

The answer is 24.

Explanation:

If you multiply 3/4 by 8, you would get 6. Then, subtract 6 from 30, you would get 24. Larry's profit would be only $24.
