During a paint salea hardware store sold 33 gallons of flat paint and 57 gallons of high gloss paint what is the ratio of gallons of high gloss sold to the total gallons

sold

In the question, it is already given that during the paint salea hardware store had sold 33 gallons of flat paint and 57 gallons of high gloss paint. From the above line we get the idea about the ration of the two types of paints being sold.

Then

Total gallons of paint sold = (57 + 33) gallons

= 90 gallons

Then the ration can be written as

Total gallons of high gloss sold:total gallons of paint sold

57:90

Dividing both sides by 3, we get

57/3:90/3

19:30

So the ratio that is required to be found is 19:90
