Yes, 2/5 is correct.
To get this answer, you need to find the probability of picking a $20 bill by subtracting the probability of picking a $5 bill and the probability of picking a $10 bill from 1 (since these are the only three options).
So, 1 - 1/3 - x = 4/15, where x is the probability of picking a $10 bill.
Solving for x, you get x = 1/15.
Then, the probability of picking a $20 bill is 4/15 - 1/15 = 3/15 = 1/5.
