Question

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 money did Amber pay for the snack if she owes her friend $5?

a. $9.50
b. $12.55
c. $16.45
d. $26.45​

Answer 1

Hi!

your answer would be: B

Reason being: If you subtract $6.95 from $14.50 you get $7.55 (which is what she had leftover after she bought the ticket). She needed $5 more to get snacks, so add $5 to $7.55 and you get $12.55.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

I think the answer is B. $12.55

Explanation:

14.50 - 6.95 = 7.55

7.55 + 5 = 12.55
