Amber earned $14.50 babysitting on saturday. on sunday, she spent $6.95 when she purchased a movie ticket. she needed to borrow money from a friend to complete her purchase of a snack. how much money did amber pay for the snack if she owes her friend $5?
$9.50
$12.55
$16.45
$26.45

$12.55

Step-by-step explanation:

The total earning of Amber = $14.50

Amount spent on a movie ticket = $6.95

The remaining amount with her = $14.50 - $6.95

= $ 7.55

Let the cost of the snack be x

From the last statement , since she is still oweing the friend $5 , it implies

x - 7.55 = 5

Add 7.55 to both sides , we have :

x = 5 + 7.55

x = 12.55

Therefore Amber paid $ 12.55 for the snack
