Answer: Michelle = $37 and Kanye = $59

Explanation:

Let Michelle's payment be x , since Kanye pays $22 more , this means his pay will be x + 22.

The sum of their payment must be = $96 , that is

x + x + 22 = 96

2x + 22 = 96

2x = 96 - 22

2x = 74

x = 74/2

x = 37

Therefore: Michelle will pay $37 and Kanye will pay $37 + 22 = $59
