Thus,

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression

Determining the difference of the fractions

The Least Common Multiplier of 5, 4 is 20. Thus, adjust the fractions based on the L.C.M.

Apply the fraction rule: 

Add the number: 4-15 = -11

Apply the fraction rule: 

Please check the attached figure, where the pointing-down arrow is representing the correct answer which is -11/20.
Therefore, option 'b' i.e. -11/20 is the correct option.
Thus,

Remember
(x^m)(x^n)=x^(m+n)
(x^2y^2-5)^2=
(x^2y^2-5)(x^2y^2-5)=
x^4y^4-5x^2y^2-5x^2y^2+25=
<u>
The customer gave you:</u>
-- $100
-- $5 winning ticket
-- $2 winning ticket
Total . . . $107
<u>You gave the customer:</u>
-- $17.01 in the form of gas
-- $5 in the form of a $5 lottery ticket
