Explanation:

Step1: Calculate base shirt cost

$2 \times 15.75 = 31.50$

Step2: Calculate monogram cost

$2 \times 5.95 = 11.90$

Step3: Calculate gift box cost

$1 \times 5 = 5.00$

Step4: Calculate shipping cost

Base total (before extras) = $\$31.50$, so shipping = $\$4.50$

Step5: Verify total cost (part a)

$31.50 + 11.90 + 5.00 + 4.50 = 54.35$

Step6: Calculate extra cost (part b)

$11.90 + 5.00 + 4.50 = 22.85$

Answer:

(a) $\$54.35$
(b) $\$22.85$
