Answer:

the amount left is 16.2

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of money spend is shown below;

Given that

Total money available $20

This week 10% would be put in piggy bank

and, in next week 10% of the money would be put again in piggy bank

So the money left is

= $20 - $20 × 10% - ($18 × 10%)

= $20 - $2 - $1.8

= $16.2

Hence, the amount left is 16.2
