Final answer:

Yoko has $32, Greg has $24, and Brian has $48 in their wallets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this problem step by step:

Let's assume that Yoko has 'x' dollars.

Greg has $8 less than Yoko, so Greg has 'x-8' dollars.

Brian has 2 times what Greg has, so Brian has '2(x-8)' dollars.

According to the given information, the total amount in their wallets is $104.

Therefore, the equation becomes:

x + (x-8) + 2(x-8)

= 104.

Now, simplify the equation:

x + x - 8 + 2x - 16

= 104.

Combine like terms:

4x - 24 = 104.

Add 24 to both sides:

4x = 128.

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 32.

So, Yoko has $32, Greg has $24, and Brian has $48 in their wallets.
