Let's assume Mary originally had x .

Mary gave one third of her money to Nadeem, which is \frac{1}{3}x . After giving this amount to Nadeem, Mary had \frac{2}{3}x left.

Mary also gave one fifth of her money to Elwethu, which is \frac{1}{5}x . After giving this amount to Elwethu, Mary had \frac{4}{5}x left.

Given that Elwethu received $R28 less than Nazeem, we can set up the equation:

Nazeem's share - Elwethu's share = $28

\frac{1}{3}x - \frac{1}{5}x = 28

Solving for x:

\frac{5x-3x}{15} = 28

\frac{2x}{15} = 28

2x = 15 \times 28

x = \frac{15 \times 28}{2}

x = 210

Therefore, Mary originally had R210. \boxed{Answer}
