D) 75%

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A package of organic strawberries costs $1.50 while they are in season and $2.25 when they aren't in season.

Price when in season = 2.25

Price when not in season = 1.50

Difference/increase in price = 0.75

Original price before increse = 1.50

For 1.50 increase = 0.75

For 100 increase = 100(0.75)/1.50 = 50

So answer is 50%

Option B is right

Answer 2

75% because all you do is subtract 2.25and 1.50 and you get.75l
