When Irving was done, he checked his account balance and found he had a total of $95.06. How much money was in Irving's account to begin with? a. $56.43 b. $151.49 c. $38.63 d. $142.36

This question is incomplete. The first part of the question says that Irving went shopping and he bought novel, shirt, lunch and potted plant for $8.75, $21.66, $9.13 and $16.89 respectively. After this, he had $95.06 in his account.

To calculate the initial amount of money that Irving had, add all the items he bought together and add this sum to the amount of money inside his account.

Amount of items bought = 8.75 + 21.66 + 9.13 + 16.89 = $56. 43

$56.42 + $95.06 = $151.49.

Thus, the correct option is B.
