3. (a)

Add the three totals.

Total sales for all three: $2030 + $1540 + $1800 = $5370

Now divide each person's sales by the total sales to find each person's fraction of the sales.

Lola: 2030/5370
Ahmed: 1540/5370
Tommy: 1800/5370

3. (b)

Multiply each fraction from part (a) by $100.

Lola: 2030/5370 * $100 = $37.80
Ahmed: 1540/5370 = $28.67
Tommy: 1800/5370 = $33.52
