    Total consumer surplus = $45

    so correct option is c. $45

    Explanation:

    given data

    purchase bulletin boards = $15

    Lauren = $35

    Leslie = $25

    Lydia = $30

    to find out

    Total consumer surplus

    solution

    we know that consumer surplus is the difference between the price the consumer expected to pay

    and the price they are actually paying

    so

    Lauren's surplus = $35 - $15 = $20

    Leslie's = $25 - $15 = $10

    Lydia's = $30 - $15 = $15

    so

    Total consumer surplus = $20 + $10 + $15

    Total consumer surplus = $45

    so correct option is c. $45

    Total consumer surplus will be $45. The answer is "C".
