Answer: (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 = [tex]\$\dfrac{60}{100}=\$0.6[/tex]

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)
