Answer:

  • $18

-----------------------

The average price Jaffar paid for the 5 books is $17.

To find the total cost of the 5 books, we multiply the average price by the number of books:

  • $17 * 5 = $85

Now, we'll add up the prices of the first four books:

  • $15 + $16 + $17 + $19 = $67

Finally, we'll subtract the sum of the first four books from the total cost to find the price of the fifth book:

  • $85 - $67 = $18

So, Jaffar paid $18 for the fifth book.
