I spent $4.80 on groceries and 1.20 on vegetables. What is the ratio of:

A) cost of vegetables to the total cost.
B) cost of groceries to the total cost.

1 answer

Assuming that the total cost equals the sum of the costs of the groceries and vegetables, then we can find the total cost by: $4.80 + $1.20 = $6.00

A) $1.20/$6.00 => after reducing 1/5
B) $4.80/$6.00 => after reducing 4/5
