    Answer: $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
