    In solving this type of problem always look for the person you don't have any information about in this case it's Eve therefore Eve is X, Justin has $7.50 more than Eve, therefore

    X+$7.50 is Justin and Emma has $12 less than Justin, therefore subtract $12 from Justin X+$7.50-$12, since the total amount is $63 add all the numbers and equal them to $63.

    x+7+x+7.5-12 + x=63

    3x+3=63

    3x=60

    x=20

    Plug in the x for each person

    therefore Eve=$20

    Justin=$20+$7.50 = $27.50

    Emma has $12 less than Justin therefore $15.50

    Add all the money and it equals $63
