Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Time of going out = 12:15pm

Amount spend on two books  = $42.20

Amount spend toys = $5.67

Time of arrival  = 1:00pm

The amount Sarah spent on each of the two books;

      = $\frac{total amount spent on the books }{number of books}$

Amount spent on each books  = $\frac{42.20}{2}$   = $21.1 per book

The relevant information to solve this problem are the number of books and the cost of the book.
