If I have a balance on my iTunes gift card but not enough to cover my full purchase will it use the balance of the gift card first?

I have a balance of 9.48 on my iTunes gift card but not enough to cover my purchase. It keeps asking my mom if she will approve the 9.99 purchase... will she be charged for the whole purchase or just the portion that I don’t have on my balance?

iPad mini, iOS 9

Only the extra amount, except for gifts, some in-app purchases, and special orders such as disaster relief.
