Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
First, calculate the total sales for shops A and C.
Shop A: 3500 + 2000 = 5500
Shop C: 4400 + 5500 = 9900
Total for A and C: 5500 + 9900 = 15400
Next, calculate the total sales for shops B and D.
Shop B: 3900 + 5200 = 9100
Shop D: 5500 + 6600 = 12100
Total for B and D: 9100 + 12100 = 21200
Finally, find the ratio between (A + C) and (B + D): 15400 : 21200
Simplify the ratio by dividing both sides by 200: 77 : 106
