Okay, let's talk through this.
It is Sunday--Amber has 14.50 and buys a ticket for 6.95.
subtract 6.95 from 14.50.
She has 7.55 left.
She sees a snack that she really wants but she is five dollars short.
add 5.00 to 7.55, and that is how much she paid for the snack.

14.50 - 6.95 = 7.55$
7.55 + 5.00 = 12.55$ spent on a snack?! dang she was hungry
