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

Sales amount of Trinity = $2330

Sales amount of Jason = $1740

Total sales of both the people =
2330+1740=4070

The fractional value of Trinity's sales =
(2330)/(4070)=0.57 or 57%

The fractional value of Jason's sales =
(1740)/(4070)=0.427 or 43%
