Let's calculate the amount he saves each month:

June: $20
July: $20 x 1.10 = $22
August: $22 x 1.10 = $24.20
September: $24.20 x 1.10 = $26.62
October: $26.62 x 1.10 = $29.28
November: $29.28 x 1.10 = $32.21
December: $32.21 x 1.10 = $35.43

Adding up the savings from June to December:

$20 + $22 + $24.20 + $26.62 + $29.28 + $32.21 + $35.43 = $189.74

Therefore, he will have $189.74 at the end of December. The closest answer option is $189.74.
