Sarah loves farmers' markets, but hates that they only accept cash. On one recent trip, she splurged on a $15.69 jar of honey. Then, she decided to purchase all the ingredients to make a salad and bought a head of romaine for $3.45, a pint of cherry tomatoes for $1.75, a bunch of radishes for $0.98, a cucumber for $0.55, and a large bag of candied pecans for $6.15. Sarah had to make a quick mental calculation to determine if she had enough money in her purse to purchase all of the food. Rounding each item to the nearest dollar, how much is her total bill?
