Answer:

$
(2d)/(3)

Explanation:

Amount of dollars required to buy 3 balls= $ d

As the cost of each ball is equal

Amount required to buy 1 ball= $
(d)/(3)

Amount that the had =$ d

She bought only one ball

Amount she left with= $ d-$
(d)/(3)

Amount she left with= $
(2d)/(3)

Hence the correct answer is $
(2d)/(3)
