○ 26,606.3
○ 26,606.63
○ 26,660.63

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the whole number part

"Twenty - six thousand, six hundred six" can be written as: \(26\times1000 + 6\times100+0\times10 + 6\times1=26000 + 600+0 + 6 = 26606\)

Step2: Analyze the decimal part

"Sixty - three hundredths" is written as \(\frac{63}{100}=0.63\)

Step3: Combine the whole number and decimal parts

The number in standard form is the sum of the whole number part and the decimal part, so \(26606+0.63 = 26606.63\)

Answer:

26,606.63 (the second option)
