2.upward
3.to the left
4.to the right

1 answer

On a horizontal number line, if you start at $20 and then spend $10, your remaining amount is $10. In terms of direction on the number line, spending money would move you to the left, as you are decreasing the amount of money you have.

So the correct answer is:
3. to the left.
