By my count there are $19$ $C-C$ , and $C-H$ bonds.

Explanation:

Draw out the molecule, $H_3C-CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$ , and count the $C-H$ , and $C-C$ bonds. There are $5$ $C-C$ bonds, and $14$ $C-H$ bonds. Of course, there are different isomeric structures available, but for an alkane, there are no degrees of unsaturation.
