Question

A jewellery shop sells 240 neck less in a month.180 of the neck less were sold via the shop website, the rest were sold in a high street shop. work out the ratio of online sales to shop sales.

Answer 1

The ratio is 3:1

Explanation:

Let

x --->number of neck less sold via the shop website

y --->number of neck less sold in a high street shop

we know that

To find out the ratio of online sales to shop sales, simply divided the number of neck less sold via the shop website by the number of neck less sold in a high street shop

so

`ratio=(x)/(y)`

we have

`x+y=240` ----> equation A

`x=180` ---> given value

substitute the value of x in the equation A

`180+y=240`

solve for y

`y=240-180=60`

Find the ratio

`ratio=(180)/(60)`

`ratio=(3)/(1)`
