These are the data collected and the fractions of the sale of the day:


Ornaments sold on Saturday
fraction
Silver 20 20/200 = 1/10
Red 100 100/200 = 1/2
White 30 30/200 = 3/20
Gold 50 50/200 = 1/4
-------
Total 200


Ornaments sold on Sunday
fraction
Silver 50 50/200 = 1/4
Red 110 110/200 = 11/20
White 15 15/200 = 3 / 40
Gold 25 25/200 = 1/8
-------
Total 200



The question is which color ornament represents 1/8 of the sales of the day.


Then, in the table you have the answer.


The last line of the second table shows that the sales of gold ornament on Sunday represents 1/8 of the sales of the day.


The answer is gold ornaments sold on Sunday (option D.)
