A ratio is the simplest form of a fraction, showing the relation between two quantities.
In the question, we are given that a builder sold a house for $360,000. The land cost $93,300. Construction costs and other expenses were $85,100 and the remainder was profit.
(a) We are asked to find the ratio of land costs to all other costs.
The cost of the land is given to be $93,300.
The cost of construction and other expenses is given to be $85,100.
Thus, the fraction of land costs to all other costs can be shown as:
$93,300/$85,100.
The ratio for this fraction can be shown as 933:851.
(b) We are asked to find the ratio of profit to the selling price.
The selling price of the land is given to be $360,000.
The cost of the land is given to be $93,300.
The cost of construction and other expenses is given to be $85,100.
The profit = Selling price - Cost of land - Construction and other costs,
or, the profit = $360000 - $93300 - $85100,
or, the profit = $181,600.
Thus, the fraction of profit to selling price can be shown as $181,600/$360,000.
The ratio for this fraction can be shown as 227:450.
