Answer:

Money before spending on lunch = 36 dollars

Explanation:

Let the total money be X

Money spent on lunch
(2)/(5) X

Money received from friend
= 5.50 dollars

Money spent movie ticket
= 9.75 dollars

Money spent on snacks
= 4.50 dollars

Money left
= 12.65 dollars


(X - (2)/(5)X- 9.75 -4.50+5.5) = 12.65


(3)/(5) X
= 12.65 + 9.95 +4.50 -5.5
= 21.6\\

X
= 36

Money before spending on lunch = 36 dollars
