Respuesta :

Answer: 3 : 37

Step-by-step explanation:

The shop sold 240 necklaces in a month.

Out of these, 18 were sold online.

The number that was sold offline was therefore:

= 240 - 18

= 222 shop sales

The ratio of  online sales to shop sales is therefore:

18 : 222

Take it to simplest form by dividing both sides by their highest common factor of 6:

3 : 37
