Answer 1

We are going to take the account step by step.
 We have:
 2 pencils for $ 0.79 each:
 (2) * (0.79) = 1.58 $
 4 notebooks for $ 3.29 each:
 (4) * (3.29) = 13.16 $
 a comic book for $ 1.29:
 (1) * (1.29) = 1.29 $
 The change will be:
 20- (1.58 + 13.16 + 1.29) = 3.97 $
 Answer:
 he will receive from $ 20: 
 c.
 $ 3.97
