Answer:

D. yes, ping should give five one dollar bills, not six

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data is

Fren bought groceries.

The groceries cost = $14.40

She paid to ping (clerk) = $20

hence, the money should give by ping to fern is = $20 - $14.40 = $5.6

two pennies make the total of $14.40 which is true.

six dimes makes $15 this is also true.

six dollars makes $20 this is false.

Since $15 + $6 = $21 which is not equal to $20.
