Johan Woodward · Answer 1

B. 5:3

Explanation

Given that

Gyms sold = 10,000

Tree sold = 6000

Sales Mix

= 10000 : 6000

That is

10000/6000

= 5/3

Thus

Sales mix = 5:3

Recall that

Sales mix is the relative proportion of business products that are sold. That is, the ratio of each product that an organization sells to total product.
