#$14.85#

Explanation:

We need to find the total price of each book.

Since we bought 3 books, we need to add #$8.95# 3 times.

#$8.95+$8.95+$8.95=$8.95*3=$26.85#

Since you paid 12 dollars, you will owe them less money than the total of the books. Therefore, you must subtract:

#$26.85-$12.00=$14.85#
