b. $75.85
c. $26.02
d. $83.26

The  total cost of the order is $75.85 .

Option (b) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Ronda ordered 3 T-shirts for $15.67 each and one skirt for $24.55 and a 6% tax.

Total cost of the 3 T-shirts and one skirts =3 × Cost of the 1 T - shirts + Cost of the skirt

                                                                    = 3 × $15.67 + $24.55

                                                                    = $47.01 + $24.55

                                                                    = $ 71.56

6% is written in the decimal form

= 0.06

Sales tax = 0.06 × Total cost of the 3 T-shirts and one skirts .

               = 0.06 × 71.56

               = $ 4.2936

Thus

Total cost of the order =  Total cost of the 3 T-shirts and one skirts + Sales tax .

Put all the values in the above

Total cost of the order = $71.56 + $ 4.2936

                                      = $ 75.85 (Approx)

Therefore the  total cost of the order is $75.85 .

Option (b) is correct .

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
