To solve the exercise you can first add the money Joshua spent and then subtract it from the money he had initially.

So, Joshua spent in total


$\text{ \$}4.58$+$\text{ \$}7.43$+$\text{ \$}3.50$=\text{ \$}15.51

Now, subtracting Joshua's total expenses from the money he had initially


\text{ \$}20-\text{\$}15.51=\text{ \$}4.49

Therefore, Joshua has left $4.49.
