To find out how much money Shivani makes from selling lemonade, we can use the equation:

\[ d = 3c \]

where \( d \) is the earnings in dollars and \( c \) is the number of cups sold.

If Shivani sells a total of 18 cups, we can substitute \( c \) with 18 in the equation:

\[ d = 3 \times 18 \]

Now, calculate:

\[ d = 54 \]

Therefore, Shivani will have made **$54** after selling 18 cups of lemonade.
