a. $175
b. $185
c. $210
d. $156

Explanation:

Step1: Round each item's price

Shirts: $\$19.95 \approx \$20$; Sweatshirt: $\$27.99 \approx \$28$; Sweatpants: $\$24.99 \approx \$25$; Shoes: $\$79.95 \approx \$80$; Socks: $\$2.99 \approx \$3$

Step2: Calculate cost of each item type

2 shirts: $2 \times \$20 = \$40$; 4 socks: $4 \times \$3 = \$12$

Step3: Sum all estimated costs

$\$40 + \$28 + \$25 + \$80 + \$12 = \$185$

B. $\$185$
