    Alana and Petra bought 9 books combined.

    Angus bought 19 books and had a $10 discount.

    Angus spent $5 more than Alana and Petra combined.

    This means that the price of 19 books is $15 more than the price of 9 books. 19 books is 10 books more than 9 books.

    Giving you 10 books = $15, 1 book = $1.50
