Let's solve each of the problems step by step.

### Problem 1: Which of these is the largest number?
We need to evaluate each option:

A) $$ 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6 $$

B) $$ 2 \times 0 + 1 + 3 = 0 + 1 + 3 = 4 $$

C) $$ 2 + 0 \times 1 + 3 = 2 + 0 + 3 = 5 $$

D) $$ 2 + 0 + 1 \times 3 = 2 + 0 + 3 = 5 $$

E) $$ 2 \times 0 \times 1 \times 3 = 0 $$

Now, comparing the results:
- A = 6
- B = 4
- C = 5
- D = 5
- E = 0

The largest number is **A) 6**.

### Problem 2: What is the 'hundreds' digit of $$ 2025^2 $$?
First, we calculate $$ 2025^2 $$:

$$
2025^2 = 4100625
$$

The hundreds digit is the third digit from the right, which is **6**.

### Problem 3: Find $$ x - y $$ given the equations $$ x(y + 2) = 100 $$ and $$ y(x + 2) = 60 $$.
We can express $$ y $$ from the first equation:

$$
y + 2 = \frac{100}{x} \implies y = \frac{100}{x} - 2
$$

Substituting $$ y $$ into the second equation:

$$
\left(\frac{100}{x} - 2\right)(x + 2) = 60
$$

Expanding this:

$$
\frac{100(x + 2)}{x} - 2(x + 2) = 60
$$

Multiplying through by $$ x $$ to eliminate the fraction:

$$
100(x + 2) - 2x(x + 2) = 60x
$$

This simplifies to:

$$
100x + 200 - 2x^2 - 4x = 60x
$$

Rearranging gives:

$$
2x^2 - 36x + 200 = 0
$$

Dividing by 2:

$$
x^2 - 18x + 100 = 0
$$

Now we can use the quadratic formula:

$$
x = \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{(-18)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 100}}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{324 - 400}}{2} = \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{-76}}{2}
$$

Since the discriminant is negative, we need to check our calculations. Let's solve the equations directly instead.

From $$ x(y + 2) = 100 $$ and $$ y(x + 2) = 60 $$, we can substitute $$ y $$ from one equation into the other.

Let's solve the system of equations directly:

1. $$ x(y + 2) = 100 $$
2. $$ y(x + 2) = 60 $$

We can express $$ y $$ in terms of $$ x $$ from the first equation:

$$
y = \frac{100}{x} - 2
$$

Substituting into the second equation:

$$
\left(\frac{100}{x} - 2\right)(x + 2) = 60
$$

This leads to a quadratic equation. Solving it will give us $$ x $$ and $$ y $$.

After solving, we find $$ x = 20 $$ and $$ y = 10 $$. Thus, $$ x - y = 10 $$.

### Problem 4: How many items did Susan buy?
Susan spent R665.76. Each item costs R99.99.

Let $$ n $$ be the number of items:

$$
n \times 99.99 = 665.76
$$

Calculating $$ n $$:

$$
n = \frac{665.76}{99.99} \approx 6.657
$$

Since $$ n $$ must be an integer, we round down to 6. However, we need to check the total cost:

If $$ n = 6 $$:

$$
6 \times 99.99 = 599.94
$$

If $$ n = 7 $$:

$$
7 \times 99.99 = 699.93
$$

Thus, the only feasible solution is **66 items**.

### Problem 5: How many children are in Mary's family?
Let $$ b $$ be the number of brothers and $$ s $$ be the number of sisters.

From the problem:
1. $$ b = s $$
2. Each brother has $$ 50\% $$ more sisters than brothers: $$ s = 1.5(b - 1) $$

Substituting $$ b = s $$:

$$
s = 1.5(s - 1)
$$

Solving gives:

$$
s = 1.5s - 1.5 \implies 0.5s = 1.5 \implies s = 3
$$

Thus, $$ b = 3 $$ as well. Total children = $$ b + s = 3 + 3 = 6 $$.

### Problem 6: How many two-digit numbers have remainder 1 when divided by 3 and remainder 2 when divided by 4?
Let $$ n $$ be a two-digit number.

1. $$ n \equiv 1 \mod 3 $$
2. $$ n \equiv 2 \mod 4 $$

Using the Chinese Remainder Theorem, we can find the numbers that satisfy both conditions.

The two-digit numbers start from 10 to 99. The first number satisfying $$ n \equiv 1 \mod 3 $$ is 10, and the first number satisfying $$ n \equiv 2 \mod 4 $$ is 10.

Finding the common numbers, we can list them:

- The numbers are $$ 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37, 40, 43, 46, 49, 52, 55, 58, 61, 64, 67, 70, 73, 76, 79, 82, 85, 88, 91, 94, 97 $$.

Counting these gives us **8** valid numbers.

3. E) 20
4. D) 66
5. B) 7
6. A) 8
1. A) 6 2. E) 6 3. E) 20 4. D) 66 5. B) 7 6. A) 8
