A.
8%
B.

D.
25%
A.
8%
B.
15%
C.
20%
D.
25%
B. 15%
Calculation:
Percent Increase = ((New Price - Old Price) / Old Price) x 100%
= (($75.00 - $60.00) / $60.00) x 100%
= ($15.00 / $60.00) x 100%
= 0.25 x 100%
= 25%
Therefore, the percent increase between the two prices is 25%.
Calculation:
Percent Increase = ((New Price - Old Price) / Old Price) x 100%
= (($75.00 - $60.00) / $60.00) x 100%
= ($15.00 / $60.00) x 100%
= 0.25 x 100%
= 25%
Therefore, the percent increase between the two prices is 25%.

Explanation:
- 2 pots at $20 each: $40
- 1 roasting pan at $35: $35
Total before discount: $40 + $35 = $75
Since the total is $75, it qualifies for a 25% discount.
25% of $75 = 0.25 x $75 = $18.75
Total after discount: $75 - $18.75 = $56.25
Therefore, option C is correct.

Molly's family has $3,000 set aside for an upcoming vacation. The family plans to spend 3/5 of this amount on gasoline for the drive and motel rooms along the way and 1/2 of the remainder on meals. How much does Molly's family plan to spend on meals?

D.
$1,500
A.
$600
B.
$900
C.
$1,200
D.
$1,500
Let's break it down step by step:
Total amount set aside: $3,000
Amount for gasoline and motels: (3/5) x $3,000 = $1,800
Amount remaining after spending on gasoline and motels: $3,000 - $1,800 = $1,200
Now, they plan to spend 1/2 of the remainder on meals.
Amount to spend on meals: (1/2) x $1,200 = $600
Therefore, Molly's family plans to spend $600 on meals.
So, the answer is A. $600.
Total amount set aside: $3,000
Amount for gasoline and motels: (3/5) x $3,000 = $1,800
Amount remaining after spending on gasoline and motels: $3,000 - $1,800 = $1,200
Now, they plan to spend 1/2 of the remainder on meals.
Amount to spend on meals: (1/2) x $1,200 = $600
Therefore, Molly's family plans to spend $600 on meals.
So, the answer is A. $600.

What was the total cost of Jessica’s side dishes for 15 days?
A.
$11.25
B.
$17.25
C.
$22.50
D.
$33.75
Let's calculate the total cost of Jessica's side dishes:
Cost of a fruit cup = $0.75
Cost of a salad = $1.50
Each day, she chose a fruit cup and a salad, so the daily cost would be:
$0.75 (fruit cup) + $1.50 (salad) = $2.25
For 15 days, the total cost would be:
15 days x $2.25/day = $33.75
Therefore, the total cost of Jessica's side dishes for 15 days would be $33.75.
So, the correct answer is D. $33.75.
Cost of a fruit cup = $0.75
Cost of a salad = $1.50
Each day, she chose a fruit cup and a salad, so the daily cost would be:
$0.75 (fruit cup) + $1.50 (salad) = $2.25
For 15 days, the total cost would be:
15 days x $2.25/day = $33.75
Therefore, the total cost of Jessica's side dishes for 15 days would be $33.75.
So, the correct answer is D. $33.75.
