First we need to find out how much tip Ashley will leave. She will leave 20% of the total bill which is

$$20\% \cdot \$9 = \$1.80$$

So the total cost for Ashley's meal and tip is

$$\$9 + \$1.80 = \$10.80$$

Ashley then has a coupon for \$5 off, so the total cost becomes

$$\$10.80 - \$5 = \$5.80$$

Finally, Ashley pays with a \$5 bill and receives $$\$0.20 + \$0.01 = \$0.21$$ in change.

So Ashley has $$\$5 + \$0.21 = \$5.21$$ at the end of the process.

Therefore, the best choice is D, $\$2 \frac { 15 } { 16 }$, because it is the only answer choice that is not equal to the total cost of Ashley's meal after the coupon and tip, or the amount of change she receives.
