so, what do you know?
w = p+108
p = 3/2 y
p = .24(w+p+y)
solve, then find w-y
post your work if you get stuck

w = p + 108
p = y + y/2 so y = 2 p/3
p = ( 24/100)(w + y + p)
100 p = 24 w +24 y + 24 p
76 p = 24 w + 24 y
76 p = 24 (p+108) + 24(2 p/3)
76 p = 24 p + 2592 +16 p
36p = 2592
p = 72
Your turn :)
