Let

x -----> amount saved by Helga

y ----> amount saved by Maurice

z ----> amount saved by Nora

we have that

x+y+z=60 ------> equaton A

x/y=8/3

x=(8/3)y ------> equation B

y/z=3/4

z/y=4/3

z=(4/3)y -----> equation C

substitute equation B and C to equation A

(8/3)y+y+(4/3)y=60

solve for y

(12/3)y+y=60

4y+y=60

5y=60

y=12

Find the value of x

x=(8/3)(12)=32

Find the value of z

z=((4/3)(12)=16

therefore
