Answer :

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: [tex]33+57=90[/tex]


Hence, the ratio of gallons of high-gloss sold to total gallons sold is simply:

[tex]57:90[/tex]

That is answer choice A.

A.

57 Gallons of high gloss
90 Gallons total

It is 90 gallons total because 57+33 is 90 total gallons of all the paint

The Ratio is 57/90
