Molly's family has $3,000 set aside for an upcoming vacation. The family plans to spend
of this amount on gasoline for the drive and motel rooms along the way and
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
The family plans to spend 50% of the $3000 on gasoline and motel rooms, which is 0.5*3000 = $<<0.5*3000=1500>>1500.
They have $3000-$1500 = $<<3000-1500=1500>>1500 remaining.
So, they plan to spend 25% of the remaining amount on meals, which is 0.25*1500 = $<<0.25*1500=375>>375.
Thus, Molly's family plans to spend $375 on meals. Answer: \boxed{375}.
