#b=25-9.25m#

Explanation:

The amount of money on her gift card should decrease with each show. The balance should, therefore, be given by the following function:

#b=25-9.25m#

This gives the balance she has on her gift card given that she goes a views #m# amount of movies, and as she had 25 dollars, to begin with, her costs for viewing only movies after 4 pm will be subtracted from her total, yielding the given function.
