It is always a good idea to check your typing for spelling and gammar, that way we don't have to second-guess what you mean.
let the amount of her money be x
she spent 1/3 x on the wallet, leaving her with (2/3)x
She spent (1/4) of that on a belt
she spent (1/4(2/3)x = (1/6)x on the belt
amount spent: = (1/3)x + (1/6)x = (1/2)x
so she is left with 1/2 of her starting money
check:
suppose she had $60
she spent (1/3) of that or $20, leaving her with $40
she spent (1/4) of that or $10 , leaving her with $30, which is 1/2 of what she started with
