Elijah buys P pounds of bananas for 60 cents per pound. He pays the clerk with a twenty-dollar bill. The clerk subtracts the total cost of the bananas from the twenty dollar bill to determine the amount of change to give Elijah.

(20-0.6P)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Elijah buys P pounds of bananas for 60 cents per pound.

Since 1 dollar = 100 cents

Then,  60 cents =

Cost of P pounds of bananas = Cost per pound x P

= $0.6 P

He pays the clerk with a twenty-dollar bill.

Change he will get = $ 20 - Cost of P pounds of bananas

= $ (20-0.6P)

Hence, the expression of the change Elijah will get =  (20-0.6P)
