Let's solve this step by step:

1. Determine the prices of the items Janice bought:
- The jeans cost £30.25.
- The polo shirt costs £24.99.
- The baseball cap costs £2.67.

2. Calculate the total amount spent by adding the prices of all the items:
[tex]\[ \text{Total cost} = £30.25 + £24.99 + £2.67 = £57.91 \][/tex]

3. Determine the total amount of money Janice handed over to the shop assistant:
- Janice handed over 3 twenty-pound notes.
- Each note is worth £20.
[tex]\[ \text{Total paid by Janice} = 3 \times £20 = £60 \][/tex]

4. Calculate the change Janice should receive by subtracting the total cost from the total amount paid:
[tex]\[ \text{Change} = £60 - £57.91 = £2.09 \][/tex]

Therefore, Janice should receive £2.09 as change.
