How to calculate allele frequencies from SNP's to determine LD

I know this topic has been covered multiple times, but after reading the posts I am still having difficulty making my question fit. I have been given 2 SNPS: AAAAAAATATTT and CCCGGGCGGGGG respectively. Each genotype count is 250, 200, 40, 300, 120, and 90 respectively. I have been asked to calculate the allelic frequencies to determine LD and I am unable to. Any suggestions?

See this web page for how to get allele freq from genotype freq.

Then see this wikipedia article for different measures of LD, and how to calculate them.

I am looking closely at the links now! Thank you for the direction.

I was able to easily calculate the frequencies. Thank you again!
