    Answer: Caleb made $37 in tips last night.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the amount in tips that Caleb made last night.

    last night Jose made $12 more tips than Caleb. It means that amount that Jose made in tips is $ (x + 12)

    Caleb make $12 more in tips than Evan. It means that amount that Evan made in tips is $ (x - 12)

    Evan made $12 more in tips and Isaac. It means that amount that Isaac made in tips is (x - 12) - 12 =

    $ (x - 24)

    Together they made $124 in tips. It means that

    x + x + 12 + x - 12 + x - 24 = 124

    x + x + x + x + 12 - 12 - 24 = 124

    4x - 24 = 124

    4x = 124 + 24 = 148

    x = 148/4

    x = $37
