Answer:

Katherine: 920

Crystal: 552

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount earned by each is 1472

The ratio of the earnings is Katherine / Crustal = 5/3

The total number of shares = 5 + 3 = 8

So the proportion for Katherine

5/8 = x / 1472                Cross multiply

8x = 5 * 1472

8x = 7360

x = 7360/8

x = 920

And the proportion for Crystal is

3/8 = x / 1472                 Cross multiply

8x = 3 * 1472

8x = 4416

x = 4416 / 8

x =  552
