Answer:

Originally She has [tex]\$ 58[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Dollars Ashley has[tex]=x[/tex]

She spends [tex]\$23.50[/tex] on a shirt.

Remaining amount[tex]=x-23.5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{5}\ of\ (x-23.5)=\frac{2}{5}\times (x-23.5)\\\\\frac{2}{5}\times (x-23.50)=13.80\\\\x-23.5=\frac{5}{2}\times13.80\\\\x-23.5=34.5\\\\x=34.5+23.5\\\\x=58[/tex]
