Given that Justin gave the clerk $20 to pay a bill of $6.57.

Now we have to find how much change should justin get.

Justin will recieve change only if he paid more money that the bill amount.

Clearly $20 (paid money) is more than $6.57 (bill amount)

Hence Justin will recieve difference of both values.

To find the difference, we subtract 6.57 from 20

20-6.57= 13.43

Hence Justin will get change of $13.43
