Question

A jewellery shops sell 240 necklaces in a month. 180 of the necklaces were sold via the shop's website, the rest were sold in a high street shop. Write the ratio of online sales to shop sales. Give your answer in it's simplest form

Answer 1

Answer: 3:1

Explanation:

Since the jewellery shops sell 240 necklaces in a month and 180 of the necklaces were sold via the shop's website, this means that (240 - 180) = 60 necklaces were sold in a high street shop.

Therefore, the ratio of online sales to shop sales will be:

= 180 / 60

= 3 / 1

= 3:1
