In response to "Oof, I figured it with math, I'm a little relieved I can still do basic maths" by Guigue

good job! I did it a different way, which is what the writer gave in their answer.

I used a different letter, but here's theirs:

If P is one part, then (3/7)P = (1/8)(93-P). Multiplying through by 56 to clear the fractions, we have 24P = 7(93-P). Solving, P=21. So the two parts are 21 and 72.
