He should receive $9.55 in change.

Step-by-step explanation:

He paid 20 dollars, but he only spent $2.95+$7.50. The amount not needed to pay for the clothes is the change. $2.95+$7.50=10.45, and the amount not needed is $20-$10.45, and that is 9.55. Of course, there might be tax, so this is not exact.
