Answer:

a) 37:13 b) 13:37 c) 37:50 d) 13:50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: During one day in a hardware store, 37 people came in and made a purchase, and 13 people looked around but didn’t purchase anything.

To Find:  a. Purchasers to nonpurchasers b. Nonpurchasers to purchasers c. Purchasers to total customers, d. Nonpurchasers to total customers.

Solution:

Number of people who made a purchase(purchasers) = [tex]37[/tex]

Number of people who didn't made a purchase(non-purchaser)= [tex]13[/tex]

Total number of people who came to store = [tex]37+13[/tex]=[tex]50[/tex]

a) ratio of purchaser to non purchaser = [tex]\frac{\text{Number of purchaser}}{\text{Number of non purchaser}}[/tex]

                                                                   = [tex]\frac{37}{13}[/tex]

                                                                   = [tex]37:13[/tex]

b) ratio of non purchaser to purchaser = [tex]\frac{\text{Number of non purchaser}}{\text{Number of purchaser}}[/tex]

                                                                   = [tex]\frac{13}{37}[/tex]

                                                                   = [tex]13:37[/tex]

c) ratio of purchaser to Total customer = [tex]\frac{\text{Number of purchaser}}{\text{Number of Total customer}}[/tex]

                                                                   = [tex]\frac{37}{50}[/tex]

                                                                   = [tex]37:50[/tex]

a) ratio of non purchaser to total customer = [tex]\frac{\text{Number of non purchaser}}{\text{Total Number of customer}}[/tex]

                                                                   = [tex]\frac{13}{50}[/tex]

                                                                   = [tex]13:50[/tex]
