$

Answer 1

To find the mode of the prices, we need to identify which price occurs most frequently. The prices Scott paid for the furniture are:

- $63.00
- $59.00
- $59.00
- $58.00
- $57.00

Now, let's count the frequency of each price:

- $63.00: 1 time
- $59.00: 2 times
- $58.00: 1 time
- $57.00: 1 time

The price that occurs the most frequently is $59.00, which appears 2 times.

Therefore, the mode of the prices of the items is

\[
\boxed{59.00}
\]
