<p>交给 means to give. 我把这本书交给你 = I give this book to you.</p>
<p>连A带B is an fixed-phrase that simply means &quot;A and B&quot;. Hence &quot;连书带钱交给摊主&quot; means &quot;to give both the book and the money (rent) to the stall owner&quot;. Note that 把 is not used here. If we do not use the 连A带B construction then we should have 把书和钱交给摊主.</p>

<p>I know that 看完 here means reading finished or reading completed, 书 means book, 钱 means money, 给 means to give to and 摊主 means stall owner. But I don't know the meaning of the other characters.

交给 means to give. 我把这本书交给你 = I give this book to you.

连A带B is an fixed-phrase that simply means "A and B". Hence "连书带钱交给摊主" means "to give both the book and the money (rent) to the stall owner". Note that 把 is not used here. If we do not use the 连A带B construction then we should have 把书和钱交给摊主.

“[交](https://www.zdic.net/hans/%E4%BA%A4)” here is "give", repetition with “给” in semantics. And "交给" be used commonly in modern Chinese as a compound word in semantics, which just means "give (something) to (somebody)".

“连”,“带”, here both means "with/and", another repetition, and still be used in common in Chinese.

These are idiomatic usage, just get be accustomed to it.

give the book and money to stall owner.

give the book with money to stall owner.

or, give both book and money to stall owner.
