    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
