The number line on the left is the most accurate representation of the amount of money Pat might have.

The number line on the left shows the amount of money Pat might have.

Here's why:

The number line ranges from $5 to $13, which matches the range of money Pat said he has.

The shaded area on the left side of the number line indicates that amounts less than $5.75 are not possible.

The unshaded area on the right side of the number line indicates that amounts greater than or equal to $5.75 are possible.

The number line does not extend beyond $13, which matches the upper limit of the amount of money Pat could have.
