Answer:

Anton has $1.25 left.

Explanation:

A dollar bill is worth $1.

A dime is worth $0.1.

A penny is worth $0.01.

How much Anton has?

4 pennies, 1 dime, and 2 dollar.

So he has 4*0.01 + 1*0.1 + 2*1 = 2.14.

Anton has $2.14.

He spends $0.89.

How much money does he have left?

2.14 - 0.89 = 1.25

Anton has $1.25 left.
