Answer:

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

Write as a ratio

Svetlana : Bob  

Substitute in given values, Bob's amount = x

5 : 3 = 60 : x

Rewrite as fractions

5/3 = 60/x

Cross-Multiply (numerator * denominator / numerator * denominator)

5x = 180

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

x = 36

Bob received $36

Hope this helps :)
