To find out how much money was in Irving's account to begin with, we need to add up all the purchases and then add the remaining balance.

Total cost of purchases = $8.75 + $21.66 + $9.12 + $16.89 = $56.42
Remaining balance = $95.06
Initial amount = Total cost of purchases + Remaining balance = $56.42 + $95.06 = $151.48

The closest option to $151.48 is b. $151.49.
