Answer:

She spent 29/35 of total amount she had.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount Shalyn had be x.

She spent 2/5 of her money on a ticket. (i.e 2/5 of x)

She spent 3/7 of her money on popcorn. (i.e 3/7 of x)

So we need to find the total she spent.

i.e Total amount spent =Amount spent on movie ticket + amount spent on popcorn

Total amount spent = 2/5 of x  +   3/7 of x

Total amount spent = (2/5  +  3/7 ) of x

Total amount spent = (29/35) of x

So she spent 23/35 of total amount she had.
