To find the dollar sales ratio of puppies to kittens, we first need to calculate the total sales for both categories.

The puppies are selling for $104 each. Since there were originally 6 puppies, the total potential sales from all puppies can be calculated as follows:

Total sales from puppies = 6 puppies × $104 = $624.

Now for the kittens, they are selling for $24 each. With a total of 12 kittens, the potential total sales from all kittens would be:

Total sales from kittens = 12 kittens × $24 = $288.

Now, you need to determine what is left after sales, which consists of 2 puppies and 8 kittens. The sales that would have occurred would be for the remaining puppies and kittens:

Sales from remaining puppies = 2 puppies × $104 = $208.

Sales from remaining kittens = 8 kittens × $24 = $192.

Now to find the total sales for each, we subtract the sales of the remaining pets from the initial total:

Total sales from puppies sold = Total sales from puppies - Sales from remaining puppies

= $624 - $208 = $416.

Total sales from kittens sold = Total sales from kittens - Sales from remaining kittens

= $288
