She spent *[tex \Large \frac{1}{2}] and then *[tex \Large \frac{1}{4}], add *[tex \Large \frac{1}{2}] plus *[tex \Large \frac{1}{4}] to get the fraction that she spent.  Subtract that fraction from 1 to get the fraction she has remaining.  Then divide $15.00 by this fraction to get the original total amount.
