Answer 1

B. 75.7%


C. 77.5%


D. 57.5%

Answer 2

well they together had 400, they ended up have 90 after the shopping, so they spent 310. You should try multiplying 400 by the decimal versions of these numbers. 75.7% = .757, 77.5% = .775, 57.5% = .575. You could check and see which one gives you 310 as a result.
