Let me solve each problem step by step:

---

Problem 3:


Original price: $12
Discount: 25% off

First, calculate the discount amount:
$$
25\% \text{ of } 12 = 0.25 \times 12 = 3
$$
So, discounted price:
$$
12 - 3 = 9
$$

Now apply 8% sales tax on the discounted price:
$$
8\% \text{ of } 9 = 0.08 \times 9 = 0.72
$$
Final price:
$$
9 + 0.72 = 9.72
$$

Answer: $9.72

---

Problem 4:


Cost price: $0.25
Selling price: $1.00

Markup amount:
$$
1.00 - 0.25 = 0.75
$$

Percent markup based on cost:
$$
\frac{0.75}{0.25} \times 100 = 300\%
$$

Answer: 300% markup

---

Problem 5:


Car price: $13,000
Sales tax: 3.5%

Tax amount:
$$
0.035 \times 13,000 = 455
$$

Total cost:
$$
13,000 + 455 = 13,455
$$

Answer: $13,455

---

Problem 6:


Initial amount: $500
Monthly interest rate: 0.5% = 0.005

Interest earned in one month:
$$
500 \times 0.005 = 2.50
$$

Amount after one month:
$$
500 + 2.50 = 502.50
$$

Answer: $502.50

---

Problem 7:


Transaction amount: $1000
Fee rate: 2.5%

Fee charged:
$$
0.025 \times 1000 = 25
$$

Answer: $25

---

Problem 8:


This seems ambiguous. "A scale model is 100 pounds at 97 pounds" — likely means the actual weight is 100 pounds, and the measured weight is 97 pounds.

Percent error formula:
$$
\text{Percent Error} = \frac{|\text{Actual} - \text{Measured}|}{\text{Actual}} \times 100
$$

$$
= \frac{|100 - 97|}{100} \times 100 = \frac{3}{100} \times 100 = 3\%
$$

Answer: 3%

---

Problem 9:


Old price: $15.00
New price: $20.00

Increase:
$$
20 - 15 = 5
$$

Percent increase:
$$
\frac{5}{15} \times 100 = 33.\overline{3}\% \approx 33.3\%
$$

Answer: d. 33.3%

Final Answers Summary:
