Step by step explanation:

\texttt{Total no. of pencils $ = 40$}

\texttt{Ratio = 3:5}

\texttt{Sum of Ratio terms = 3+5 = 8}

\texttt{Sam's share $= \large\frac{3}{8\!\!\!/\;_1}\times40\!\!\!\!\large/\;^5$}

\mathtt{=3\times5}

\Large{\mathtt{=15}}

\texttt{John's share $= \large\frac{5}{8\!\!\!/\;_1}\times40\!\!\!\!\large/\;^5$}

\mathtt{=5\times5}

\Large{\mathtt{=25}}\\\\

\Large{\texttt{Percentage each got:}}

\texttt{Sam's percentage$ = \large\frac{15}{40}\times100$}\\

\mathtt{=37.5\%}

\texttt{John's percentage $=\large\frac{25}{40}\times100$}

\mathtt{=62.5\%}
