Let's assume Bob has x dollars.
This means Alice has twice x, or 2x dollars.
The total amount of money they have together is x + 2x = 3x dollars.
We know that the total amount of money they have together is $90, so:
3x = $90.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get:
x = $30.
Bob has $30 dollars, and Alice has twice that amount, so she has 2 * $30 = $<<2*30=60>>60.
Together, they have $30 + $60 = $<<30+60=90>>90. Answer: \boxed{30, 60}.
