In the day the number of purchasers was 37 and the number of nonpurcharses is 13

To determine the purchasers/nonpurchasers you have to divide the number of people that purchased something by the number of people that only browsed the store


(37)/(13)

The nonpurchasers to purcharsers ratio follows the same logic, divide the number of people that didn't buy something by the number of people that made purchases


(13)/(37)

The total customers of the store is


37+13=50

The ratio purchasers to total customers ratio is


(37)/(50)
