a. $0.

Explanation:

Leo slips in a Breakfast Cafe is found that it was 20% of Leo's own fault leading to slip in the Cafe. Under the Contributory negligence doctrine Leo cannot recover any dollar from the Mornin' Breakfast Cafe since Leo also contributed to the slip. Doctrine of Contributory negligence clearly mentions that if a person has contributed to the accident or he gets injured due to his own negligence it cannot collect any form of damages from counter party.
