Answer: Let's first figure out how many wallet-size photos we can buy with the remaining money after buying one large photo.

We have $20 to spend, and we spend $9.66 on the large photo, which leaves us with:

$20 - $9.66 = $10.34

We can divide this amount by the cost of each wallet-size photo to get the maximum number we can buy:

$10.34 / $0.55 = 18.80

Since we cannot buy a fraction of a photo, the maximum number of wallet-size photos we can buy is 18.

Therefore, we can order one large photo for $9.66 and 18 wallet-size photos for $9.90 ($0.55 x 18), which adds up to $19.56. This leaves us with $0.44 unspent.

Final answer:

To find the maximum number of wallet-size photos you can order, subtract the cost of the large photo from the amount you have to spend and divide the remaining amount by the cost of each wallet-size photo.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the maximum number of wallet-size photos you can order, first subtract the cost of the large photo from the amount you have to spend: $20 - $9.66 = $10.34. Then, divide this amount by the cost of each wallet-size photo: $10.34 / $0.55 = 18.8. Since you can't order a fraction of a photo, the maximum number of wallet-size photos you can order is 18.
