During a paint sale, a hardware store sold 33 gallons of flat paint and 57 gallons of high-gloss paint. What's the ratio of gallons of high-gloss sold to the total gallons sold? A. 57 : 90 B. 33 : 90 C. 57 : 33 D. 33 : 57
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Gallons of flat paint sold: 33
Gallons of high-gloss paint sold: 57
Total gallons of flat paint & high-gloss paint sold: \(33+57=90\)
Hence, the ratio of gallons of high-gloss sold to total gallons sold is simply:
\(57:90\)
That is answer choice A.
