Answer:

3/8

Explanation:

After spending 3/8 of her money on a bag, she has 5/8 of the original amount of money left. As she gave 2/5 of the remaining amount of money to her sister, she gave 1/4 of the original amount of money to her sister (5/8 × 2/5 = 1/4). Therefore, there's only 3/8 (1 - 3/8 - 1/4 = 3/8) of the original amount of money left in her bag.
