Answer / sonali

the ratio is asked with respect to the number of ppl that
entered the store ie say X
thus it would be ((60X/100)*(15/100))/X=9%

if the ratio was with respect to ppl who purchased some item
ie 60%X then it would be ((60X/100)*(15/100))/(60X/100)=15%

but according to ques it would be 9%
