Answer 1

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

1. Cost of one fruit cup: $0.75
2. Cost of one salad: $1.50

Now, we add the costs of one fruit cup and one salad together:

\[ 0.75 + 1.50 = 2.25 \]

This means the total cost of her side dishes per day is $2.25.

Next, we calculate the total cost for 15 days:

\[ 2.25 \times 15 = 33.75 \]

Therefore, the total cost of Jessica’s side dishes for 15 days is:

D. $33.75
