X - > her money;

(1 / 4) * x = x / 4 for a pair of shoes;

(1 / 5) * x = x / 5 for a shoulder bag;

x - x / 4 - x / 5 = 20x / 20x - 5x / 20x - 4x / 20x = 11x / 20 the remainder;

11x / 20 - (3 / 8) * x = 11x / 20 - 3x / 8 = 22x / 40 - 15x / 40 = 7x / 40 for her dress;

She pay 7 / 40 of her money for the dress.
