Answer 1

The ratio of sales of puppies to kittens in dollar terms for the pet store is approximately 4.33:1, calculated by the sales revenue of sold puppies ($416) to the sales revenue of sold kittens ($96).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sales ratio of puppies to kittens, we need to calculate how many were sold and multiply that by their respective prices. Starting with puppies, we have:

Originally, there were 6 puppies, and now 2 are left, which means 6 - 2 = 4 puppies were sold. Each puppy was sold for $104, so the total sales revenue for puppies is 4 puppies × $104/puppy = $416.

For kittens, we had 12 kittens originally and 8 are left, meaning 12 - 8 = 4 kittens were sold. Each kitten was sold for $24, so the total sales revenue for kittens is 4 kittens × $24/kitten = $96.

Now, we can find the ratio of sales of puppies to kittens in dollar terms which is $416 (puppies) : $96 (kittens) and we can simplify this ratio by dividing both sides by $96:

$416 ÷ $96 = 4.33

$96 ÷ $96 = 1

Therefore, the sales ratio of puppies to kittens is approximately 4.33:1.

Answer 2

you multiply 2*104 that is for puppies and then you do 8 by 24 cause that is for kittens and you get 208:192
