Answer 1

Ratio of online sales to shop sales = 3 : 1

Explanation:

Total necklace sold in a month = 240

Necklace sold via shop's website = 180

the rest were sold in a high street shop.

Necklace sold via high street shop = Total necklace sold in a month - Necklace sold via shop's website

= 240 - 180

= 60

Necklace sold via high street shop = 60

Ratio of online sales to shop sales

Necklace sold via shop's website : Necklace sold via high street shop = 180 : 60

= 180 / 60

= 3 / 1

= 3 : 1

Ratio of online sales to shop sales = 3 : 1
