To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total cost of 16 glasses where every second glass costs 60% of the price of $5.

1. First, let's find out the cost of one second glass: 60% of $5 is (60/100) * $5 = $3.
2. Kylar wants to buy 16 glasses, so there will be 8 glasses that cost $5 and 8 glasses that cost $3.
3. Now, let's calculate the total cost for the $5 glasses: 8 glasses * $5/glass = $40.
4. Next, let's calculate the total cost for the $3 glasses: 8 glasses * $3/glass = $24.
5. Finally, let's add the cost of both types of glasses to find the total amount Kylar needs to pay: $40 + $24 = $64.

The final answer is \boxed{64}.
