i think the answer is a: $1.20

my work:

3 x 0.15 = 0.45.

6.45 - 0.45 = 6.00

6.00 / 5 = 1.20

and i checked my work by doing 1.20 x 5 + 0.40 = $6.45.

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Fist multiply 3 and .15 to get .45 for 3 pencils. Then subtract .45 from 6.45 and get 6. Then divided 6 by 5 to get 1.2 for each book
