Answer 1

Answer: this is not a reasonable answer because 20 – 5 – 2 = 13

Explanation:

Let us see how much he will have actually have left.

$20 - $5.10 - $1.90 = $13

➜ Our answer appears to be "this is not a reasonable answer because 20 – 5 – 2 = 13"

➜ This option rounded $5.10 to $5 and $1.90 to $2, which helps give a reasonable answer.
