Let S be amount Suzie has, and E amount Eric has
from first sentence, S= E + 300

from second sentence (2/3)(0.9S) = E + 0.1xS

replacing S by E+300 in the second equation, you get E=300

There could be efficient way to do it. This is my take on for now.
300+0.10S = (1)S/1.66
500 + 0.1666S = (1)S
500 = (1)S - 0.1666S
500 = 0.83334S
S = 600
So,
Eric has 600 - 300 = 300
