You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if you used a calculator, you would enter 20.40 - 6.35 and the calculator would tell you that the amount of change is equal to 14.05
if you did it manually, you might do something like this:
20.40 - 6.00 = 14.40
14.40 - .35 = 14.05
change is equal to 14.05
