The two salespeople for a local advertising firm are Trinity and Jason.

Trinity sold $2030 in ads and Jason sold $1540.

Total sales = $2030 + $1540

                  = $ 3570

Now

$Trinity\sales\ fraction = \frac{Trinity\ sales}{Total\ sales}$

put all the value in the above

$Trinity\sales\ fraction = \frac{2030}{3570}$

simplify the aboves

$Trinity\sales\ fraction = \frac{29}{51}$

$Jason\sales\ fraction = \frac{Jason\ sales}{Total\ sales}$

put all the value in the above

$Jason\sales\ fraction = \frac{1540}{3570}$

simplify the aboves

$Jason\sales\ fraction = \frac{22}{51}$
