To find the price of each book, we need to subtract the tax from the total amount spent and then divide by the number of books:
Total spent - tax = $95.08 - $5.38 = $89.70.
Now we divide the amount spent by the number of books:
Price of each book = $89.70 / 5 = $<<89.7/5=17.94>>17.94.
Therefore, the price of each book is $17.94.
