Math Problem, what is the result when the collection of marbles is divided?

Pamela, Rosa, and Lisa received a collection of 300 marbles total. Pamela gets to divide up the marbles because she is oldest. She divides them as follows, alternately for Rosa and Lisa: "One for you... and two for me! One for you, and two for me!" At the end count, how many marbles does each person have?
