Answer:
The amount of silver phones sold in the month is R16 186.67
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given month, the colours of phones sold were red, silver and black.
Total amount of phones sold = R 48 560
Ratio of phones sold = 1:3:5
Sum of the ratio = 1 + 3 + 5
= 9
i. The amount of red phones sold = [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] x 48 560
= 5 395. 56
The amount of red phones sold in the month is R5 395.56
ii. The amount of silver phones sold = [tex]\frac{3}{9}[/tex] x 48 560
= 16 186.67
The amount of silver phones sold in the month is R16 186.67
iii. The amount of black phones sold = [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex] x 48 560
= 26 977.78
The amount of black phones sold in the month is R26 977.78
