Answer:

One has $80 and the other has $480

Explanation:

First we look at our total amount of $560, and I solved this by thinking of a logical number that could be multiplied and still add up to this total.

I got to $80 as my answer for the first man because 80 multiplied by 6 is equal to 480 which therefore accounts for the second man

480+80=560, simple
