HURRY PLS

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?
