PLSSS HELP I'M 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 1

The awnser is $24 plz mark thanks so I can get more points plz

Answer 2

$24

Explanation:

You will plug in 8 for x :)

30 - (3/4)x

Since he loses 3/4 a dollar for every hour he can't work, (3/4) x 8 = 6. He will lose 6 dollars from this. 30 - 6 = 24.

His final profit is 24.
