9 answers

C. $96.75

Calculation:
Original price x (1 - discount rate) = New price
$129.00 x (1 - 0.25) = $129.00 x 0.75 = $96.75
The cost of a concert ticket last week was $60.00. This week a concert ticket is $75.00. What is the percent increase of the ticket from last week to this week?
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%.

D.

C. A purchase of 2 pots selling for $20 each and 1 roasting pan selling for $35 will be charged as $56.25 after the promotion is applied.

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?

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.
Jessica chose a fruit cup and a salad as the side dishes with her lunch every day for 15 days.

Each fruit cup cost $0.75
Each salad cost $1.50
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.
