To find out how much money Destiny will have left after buying the desk, we first need to calculate her total earnings from the three days.

1. **Calculate Total Earnings**:
\[
27.50 + 33 + 49.75
\]

Let's break it down:
- First, add \(27.50\) and \(33\):
\[
27.50 + 33 = 60.50
\]

- Now add \(49.75\) to \(60.50\):
\[
60.50 + 49.75 = 110.25
\]

So, Destiny's total earnings are \(110.25\).

2. **Determine Amount Left After Buying the Desk**:
Destiny needs to buy a desk that costs \(100\):
\[
110.25 - 100 = 10.25
\]

Therefore, if she buys the desk, Destiny will have **$10.25** left over.

So the answer is **10.25**.
