Respuesta :

ans A. 13 to 3

solution:

Total puppies for sale=6

Total puppies left = 2

hence total puppies sold= 6 - 2 = 4

cost of a puppy= $ 104

so cost of 2 puppies = 104 x 4

=416$

Now for kittens:

Total kittens for sale = 12

Total kittens left = 8

hence total kittens sold=12 - 8 =4

cost of a kitten = $24

so cost of 4 kittens= 24x 4=96$

Now ratio of sales of puppies to kittens = 208$/96$

= 13/3 or 13:3 or 13 to 3

I hope this explanation will help you to understand this problem
