Carol = $x

Bob has $3 more than Carol = $(x+3)

Carol has twice as much as Leon = $0.5x



Together they have $108 = x + (x+3) + 0.5x



x + x+ 3 + 0.5x = 108



2.5x + 3 = 108



2.5x = 105



5x = 210



x = 42



Carol has $42

Bob has $3 more than Carol = $45

Carol has twice as much as Leon = Leon has $21

Hope that helps!
