The corrected sentence is: "Between the three girls, they had enough money to see the movie Batman and to buy a copy of the magazine Computing Tips."
**Changes Made:**
1. **"3" to "three"**: It's generally preferred to write out numbers from one to nine in text.
2. **"has" to "had"**: Changed "has" to "had" for correct verb tense agreement. The past tense is appropriate here, indicating the girls had money at a specific time in the past.
3. **Added a comma after "three girls"**: This improves clarity by separating the introductory phrase from the main clause.
4. **"bought" to "to buy"**: Changed "bought" to "to buy" for parallel structure and consistency with "to see." Both phrases should be in the infinitive form.
5. **Capitalization of "Batman" and "Computing Tips"**: "Batman" is a title of a movie, and "Computing Tips" is a proper noun of a magazine, necessitating capitalization.
These changes help improve the clarity, structure, and grammatical correctness of the sentence.
