Sarah bought 12 lollipops filled with caramel for a total of 3 dollars. She offered to share one-quarter of the lollipops with her friend, Julie, but Julie insisted on reimbursing Sarah for the cost of the lollipops shared. How much money, in cents, did Julie give Sarah to pay for the shared lollipops? | Since one dollar is 100 cents, then 3 dollars is 3*100=<<3*100=300>>300 cents.
The cost for one lollipop is 300/12=<<300/12=25>>25 cents.
One-quarter of the lollipops is 12/4=<<12/4=3>>3 lollipops.
At 25 cents per lollypop, 3 lolly’s cost 3*25=<<3*25=75>>75 cents.
