    Marry = $17

    Ravi = $11

    Alan = $34

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us assume

    Mary be X

    Ravi be Y

    Alan be Z

    So, the equation in total is

    X + Y + Z = 62

    It is given that

    X = Y + 6

    Z = 2X

    Now we put the Z value in the total equation, so it would be

    X + Y + 2X = 62

    3X + Y = 62 ... (1)

    And can we write

    X = Y + 6

    X - Y = 6 ... (2)

    Now substitution these two equations,

    3X + Y = 62

    X - Y = 6

    2X = 68

    X = $17

    So, Z = 2 * 17 = $34

    And, Y

    $17 + Y + $34 = $62

    So, Y = $11
