Answer:

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;

=
(total amount spent on the books )/(number of books)

Amount spent on each books =
(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.
