Question

A jewellery shop sells 240 necklaces in a month.

180 of the necklaces were sold via the shop's website, the rest were sold in a high street shop.
Work out the ratio of online sales to shop sales.
Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

180:60=3:1

Explanation:

the first you should find the number of necklaces sold in the High Street sub. you would find it by subtracting 180 from 240

Thus

`240 - 180 = 60`

so you represent them in a ratio form and then reduced them into their lowest term.
