Let the amount Sola receives be x and the amount Ayo receives be y.

According to the given condition, for every #3.00 Sola gets, Ayo receives #5.00. This can be represented as:

3x = 5y

Also, the total amount to be divided is #960.00, so we have:

x + y = 960

Now, we can solve these two equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y.

From the first equation, we can express y in terms of x:

y = 3x/5

Substitute this into the second equation:

x + 3x/5 = 960
5x + 3x = 4800
8x = 4800
x = 600

Therefore, Sola's share is #600.00.

Let Sola's share be x and Ayo's share be y.

From the given ratio, we have:

x/3 = y/5

To find Sola's share, we solve for x:

x = (3/5) - y

We know that the total amount to be divided is 960.00, so:

x + y = 960.00

Substituting x = (3/5) - y into the above equation:

(3/5) - y + y = 960.00

Simplifying:

(8/5) - y = 960.00

Solving for y:

y = 960.00 - (5/8)
y = 600.00

Therefore, Ayo's share is #600.00.

Substituting this value back into x = (3/5) - y:

x = (3/5) - 600.00
x = 360.00

Hence, Sola's share is #360.00.
