Answer:

Pablo has $16.8, Yoko has $22.8, and Dante has $45.8 in their wallets

Explanation:

Since Yoko has $6 more than Pablo, we can express the amount of money Yoko has as P + $6.

Dante has 2 times what Yoko has, so we can express the amount of money Dante has as 2(P + $6).

We are given that the total amount of money they have is $102. We can write this as an equation:

P + (P + $6) + 2(P + $6) = $102

Simplifying the equation:

P + P + $6 + 3P + $12 = $102

5P + $18 = $102

5P = $102 - $18

5P = $84

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

P = $84/5

P = 16.8

Yoko:

P + $6

16.8 + $6

= 22.8

Dante:

2(P + $6)

2(16.8 + $6)

33.8 + 12

= 45.8
