Answer:

The answer is $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

She buys 4 notebooks for $2.50 dollars each.

Multiply 2.50 times 4 then you get $10.00

She buys pencils 10 for $0.75 each.

Multiply 10 times 0.75 and you will get $7.50

Then you add $10.00 + $7.50 which will give you $17.50.

Subtract $17.50 from $23.75 which will give you $6.25.

You divide $6.25 by 5 which will give you $1.25.
