Answer:

Option C, $100

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent of interest rate on Jackson card
= 15%

Percent of interest on Jackson's dad card
= 5%

They both take money
= 1000$

The interest amount on Jackson card


= (15)/(100) * 1000\\= 150$

The interest amount on Jackson's father card


= (5)/(100) * 1000\\= 50$

Difference between the two interest amount


= 150-50\\=100$

Jackson end up paying $
100 more than his father

Correct answer is option C.
