Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation: Lets say you paid for the serving spoon and bowl with a 20 dollar bill. The spoon costed 5 dollars and the bowl costed 11 dollars ( 5 + 11) so you buy 16$ worth of things and you pay with a 20 dollar bill ( 20 - 16) so in return you would get 4 dollars in exchange.
