Answer:


\boxed{Maria \: got \: \$11} \\ \boxed{Bill \: has \: \$21} \\ \boxed{ Eric \: has \: \$63}

Explanation:


let \: maria \: be \to \: m \\ let \: eric \: be \to \: e \\let \: bill \: be \to \: b \\then : m =b - 10 \: and \: e = 3b \\ but : m + b + e = 95 \\ hence \to \: (b - 10) + b + (3b) = 95 \\ 2b - 10 + 3b = 95 \\ 5b = 95 + 10 \\ 5b = 105 \\ \boxed{b = 21} \\ m = b - 10 = 21 - 10 \\ \boxed{ m = 11} \\ e = 3b = 3(21) \\ \boxed{e= 63}
