1 answer

To calculate the total cost of Jessica's side dishes for 15 days, we first need to determine the daily cost of her selected side dishes.

Each fruit cup costs $0.75, and each salad costs $1.50. Therefore, the total daily cost of the fruit cup and salad combined is:

\[ 0.75 + 1.50 = 2.25 \]

Now, we find the total cost for 15 days by multiplying the daily cost by the number of days:

\[ 2.25 \times 15 = 33.75 \]

Thus, the total cost of Jessica's side dishes for 15 days is:

\[ \text{Total cost} = 33.75 \]

The answer is:

D. $33.75
