Answer 1

Part 1) Trinity 233/407

Part 2) Jason 174/407

Explanation:

we know that

Trinity sold $2,330 and Jason sold $1,740

so

step 1

Find out the total sales

The total sales is equal to Trinity's sales plus Jason's sales

so

$2,330+$1,740=$4,070

step 2

The fraction of total sales that Trinity sold is equal to divide the sales of Trinity by the total sales

2,330/4,070

Simplify

233/407

step 3

The fraction of total sales that Jason sold is equal to divide the sales of Jason by the total sales

1,740/4,070

Simplify

174/407
