Since we aren't told the number of people involved in the survey, let's make things easier on ourselves and assign a "nice" value to the number of people involved in the survey.
Let's say there were 100 people in the survey.
When we apply this to our table, we see that 35 people chose TV ads, 22 people chose coupons, 18 people chose store displays, and 15 people chose samples.
35 + 22 + 18 + 15 = 90
So, the table shows the results for 90 consumers
What fraction indicated either coupons or store displays?
Among the 90 consumers surveyed, 22 chose coupons, and 18 chose store displays
22 + 18 = 40
Fraction = 40/90
= 4/9
Answer: D
