    Joe worked 5hrs

    Sam worked 8hrs

    In total they worked 13hrs

    Divide 156 by 13

    They earned $12 an hour

    12 times 8 = $96

    5 times 12 = $60

    Joe should recieve $60

    Sam should recieve $96

    Sam worked from 8am to 4pm, for a total 8 hours.

    Joe worked from 11 am to 4 pm, for a total of 5 hours.

    Combined, they worked 8 + 5 = 13 hours, and earned $156.

    That means they earned 156 : 13 = $12 per hour

    Sam worked 8 hours, so he should receive 8 * 12 = $96

    Joe worked 5 hours, so he should receive 5 * 12 = $60

    Answer is $60
