The pet store had 6 puppies selling for $104 each and 12 kittens selling for $24 each. Today, only 2 puppies and 8 kittens were left. In dollar terms, what was the ratio of sales of puppies and kittens?

  1. 13 to 2

  2. 12 to 4

  3. 15 to 6

  4. 13 to 3

The correct answer is: 13 to 2

The ratio of sales for puppies and kittens is 13 to 2. This is because for every 13 puppies that were sold, there were only 2 kittens sold. Here's why the other options are incorrect - Option B (12 to 4) would mean that for every 12 puppies sold, there were 4 kittens sold. This does not accurately reflect the given information as there were only 2 kittens left today. - Option C (15 to 6) would mean that for every 15 puppies sold, there were 6 kittens sold. This also does not accurately reflect the given information. -. Option D (13 to 3) would mean that for every 13 puppies sold, there were 3 kittens sold. Like the previous options, this does not accurately reflect the given information.
