b. $30

Explanation:

producer surplus = price producer able to sell - price producer would be willing to sell

⇔ price producer able to sell = producer surplus + price producer would be willing to sell = 53 + (10+12+15) = $90 for 3 lawn

if Ronnie charges all customers the same price for lawn mowing, that price is $30 ( = $90/3)
