If you start with $20 and then spend $10, the point representing the money you have remaining would move to the right on a horizontal number line.
To find out which direction the point representing the money you have remaining moves on a horizontal number line, follow these steps:
1. Start with a horizontal number line where the center represents $0.
2. Place a point on the number line to represent the initial amount of money you have, which is $20.
3. Move the point to the left on the number line to represent spending $10. This is because spending $10 reduces the amount of money you have.
4. The point will move to the left, which means the direction the point representing the money you have remaining moves is "to the left."
Therefore, the correct answer is "to the left."
