    Amount in Dale's wallet : $23

    Amount in Keiko's wallet : $15

    Amount in Jose's wallet: $69

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the money in Dale's wallet be $X

    Given Jose has 3 times money than what Dale has.

    if Dale has $X then Jose has $3X.

    Also Keiko has $8 less than Dale

    if Dale has $X then Keiko has $X - $8

    Also Keiko, Dale, and Jose have a total of $107 in their wallets.

    Writing this in form of mathematical expression with their value of money in terms of X we have given below equation.

    $X + $3X + $X - $8 = $107

    => $5X - $8 = $107

    => $5X = $107 + $8 = $115

    => X = $115/5 = $23.

    Amount in Dale's wallet = $X = $23

    Amount in Keiko's wallet = $X - $8 = $23 - $8 = $15

    Amount in Jose's wallet = $3X = $3*23 = $69
