This can be done easily in a few ways. One, you could do equivelent fractions as this. 16 percent is the same as 16 over 100, or, 16/100, 100 being the total with an = sign with X over 550, or, X/550. you can multiply 16 by 500 and divide by 100 to get $88. Or you could do it my way, (prefered way). take the $550, divide it by 100, then multiply by 16 and get $88. either way you do this, you take away the $88 from $550 and get the sale price of [Drumroll please...]

Let Kamil get x. Therefore Sean would get (x + 56).
Kamil and Sean are in the ratio: 3:5
That means: x : (x + 56) = 3 : 5
x / (x + 56) = 3/5
5*x = 3*(x + 56)
5x = 3*x + 3*56
5x = 3x + 168
5x - 3x = 168
2x = 168
x = 168 / 2
x = 84
Therefore Kamil had, x = 84, and Sean had (x + 56) = 84 + 56 = 140
Kamil had $84 and Sean had $140
