Answer 1

A jewelry store sells 240 necklaces per month. 180 were sold through the stores website,

the rest were sold in a high street store = 240-180=60

calculate the ratio of online sales to in-store sales.​

180:60 = 3

ratio of online sales to in-store sales is 3:1.

Answer 2

The ratio for online sales to shop sales. is 3:1.

Explanation:

Given:

• Total number of necklaces sold: 240
• Number of necklaces sold online: 180

Now,

`\textsf{ Number of necklaces sold in the high street shop: Total - Online }`

`\textsf{ Number of necklaces sold in the high street shop: 240 - 180}`

`\textsf{ Number of necklaces sold in the high street shop: 60}`

The ratio of online sales to shop sales can be expressed in fractions as:

`\textsf{ Ratio of online sales to shop sales }= \frac{\textsf{Number of online sales }}{\textsf{Number of high street shop sales}}`

Substituting value

`\sf \textsf{Ratio of online sales to shop sales }= (180 )/(60)`

Simplify the fraction by dividing both parts by their greatest common divisor, which is 60:

`\sf \textsf{The ratio of online sales to shop sales }= (3)/(1)`

Therefore, the ratio of online sales to shop sales is 3:1,
