Aaron's current pay per hour is $7.25. After receiving a $1.00 raise, his new pay per hour will be $7.25 + $1.00 = $<<7.25+1=8.25>>8.25.
Since Aaron works 3 1/2 hours every Saturday, he works a total of 3.5 x 8.25 = $<<3.5*8.25=28.88>>28.88 every Saturday.
Assuming Aaron is paid every four weeks, he will be paid 4 x 28.88 = $<<4*28.88=115.52>>115.52 in his next paycheck.
Rounded to the nearest cent, Aaron will be paid $115.50 in his next paycheck.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. $115.50.

Let's assume Jason earned x dollars babysitting.
The skateboard and helmet cost $45.50 + $18.25 = $<<45.50+18.25=63.75>>63.75 in total.
Jason earned <<100-60=40>>40% of the money mowing lawns, which is 0.40x.
He earned 100% - 40% = 60% of the money babysitting, which is 0.60x.
The total amount of money Jason earned is 0.40x + 0.60x = 1x = x dollars.
We know that x dollars = $63.75.
Therefore, x = 63.75.
Jason earned $<<63.75=63.75>>63.75 babysitting.

Let's assume Jason earned x dollars babysitting.
Since he earned 1/3 of the money mowing lawns, he earned 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of the money babysitting.
The total cost of the skateboard and helmet is $45.50 + $18.25 = $63.75.
Therefore, Jason earned 2/3 of $63.75 babysitting, which is (2/3) * $63.75 = $<<2/3*63.75=42.50>>42.50.
Therefore, Jason earned $42.50 babysitting.
The correct answer is D. $42.50.
Since he earned 1/3 of the money mowing lawns, he earned 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of the money babysitting.
The total cost of the skateboard and helmet is $45.50 + $18.25 = $63.75.
Therefore, Jason earned 2/3 of $63.75 babysitting, which is (2/3) * $63.75 = $<<2/3*63.75=42.50>>42.50.
Therefore, Jason earned $42.50 babysitting.

The family plans to spend 3/5 of $3,000 on gasoline and motel rooms, which is (3/5) * $3,000 = $1,800.
The remainder after spending $1,800 is $3,000 - $1,800 = $1,200.
The family plans to spend 1/2 of this remaining amount on meals, which is (1/2) * $1,200 = $<<1/2*1200=600>>600.
Therefore, the family plans to spend $600 on meals.
The correct answer is A. $600.
The remainder after spending $1,800 is $3,000 - $1,800 = $1,200.
The family plans to spend 1/2 of this remaining amount on meals, which is (1/2) * $1,200 = $<<1/2*1200=600>>600.
Therefore, the family plans to spend $600 on meals.
