In response to "I got it." by pmb

Oof, I figured it with math, I'm a little relieved I can still do basic maths

Here's what I did:

We know
3/7 a = 1/8 b

So
24/7 a = b

We also know
a+b=93

If we replace b with its a equivalent:

a + 24/7 a = 93 or 7/7 a + 24/7 a = 93 or 31/7 a = 93

So a = 93*7/31 = 21

b is then easy to find: 93-21=72

(what I don't remember is how to write equation on a computer)
