    Okay, to find all the other prices we have to find trey's money first. We'll represent it with the variable 't', kala's with k, and Carlos's with c.

    Let's assign values according to the question:

    t = t

    k = t+5

    c = 4k

    t + k + c = 127

    Let's input the values:

    t+t+5+4 (t+5) = 127

    2t+5 + 4t + 20 = 127

    6t + 25 = 127

    6t = 102

    t = 17

    Now that we know this:

    t = 17

    k = 17 + 5

    c = 4 (17+5)

    Trey has $17, Kala has $22, and Carlos has $88.
