Before the extra work and the changing of moneys

Frankie                 2j
Manuel                  3j
Jeremy                   j
TOTAL                   120

6j=120
j=20 
That first part means,
Frankie               40
Manuel                60
Jeremy                20


Manuel then gave Frankie 1/4 of his money. Jeremy worked extra and earned 4 times the amount he earned previously. 
Frankie               55
Manuel                45               
Jeremy                20+4*20=100

You can continue for the final question.
