he does not have enough money. Look at the numerical expression George used:
15 − 9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74)

Can you help him determine why he does not have enough money?

Answer:

He doesn't have enough money because the total of things he wants to buy is more than the money he has.

Step-by-step explanation:

9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74) must be less than or equal to 15. However all of this added together equals $16.48. This means that he doesn't have enough money.
