    Alan=$45

    Deon=$15

    Elsa=$22

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let

    Elsa=x

    Deon=x-7

    Alan=3 (x-7)

    Total=$82

    x + (x-7) + 3 (x-7) = 82

    x+x-7+3x-21=82

    5x-28=82

    5x=82+28

    5x=110

    x=110/5

    =22

    Elsa=x=$22

    Deon=x-7

    =22-7

    =$15

    Alan=3 (x-7)

    =3 (22-7)

    =3 (15)

    =$45
