Margaret then gave Mary back as much as Mary had left.
Mary then gave Margaret as back as many dollars as Margaret had left, which left Mary broke and gave
Margaret a total of $80.00.
How much did Mary and Margaret have at the beginning of their exchange?

Hmmmm, at the beginning Mary has $50 and Margaret has $30. Mary gave $30 to Margaret(so Mary has now $20 and Margaret now have $60). Margaret gave back $20 to Mary( so Mary now have $40 and Margaret has $40). Then Mary gave back $40 to Margaret, which left Mary $0 and Margaret $80.00. I hope I am correct.
