Not clear if the new monies are transferred from the other person's wallet, or if they are new monies.
e.g. Do the 80 cents that Cheryl puts in her wallet come from Sally?
Please clarify.

If they start with amounts c and s (in cents), then we are told
c+80 = 0.80s
s+70 = 1.50c
now just solve for c and s.
c+80 = 0.80s
s+70 = 1.50c
now just solve for c and s.
