Answer:

$2.60

Explanation:

You can do this two ways.

1) Multiply $8.70 by 2 to find the total cost. Then subtract the total cost from $20.

2) Subtract $8.70 from $20. Then subtract $8.70 from the difference.

Method 1)

$8.70 * 2 = $17.40 is the total cost of the two meals

$20 - $17.40 = $2.60 is the change

Method 2)

$20 - $8.70 = $11.30 is the change after paying for 1 meal.

$11.30 - $8.70 = $2.60 is the final amount of change
