You got 1. correct and 2. incorrect:
- $88.0$
- $75.20$
For 2., remember that you are being asked to round $75.195$ to the hundredths place, which means that you need to include the significant figure in the hundredths place.
But be careful to recognise when a $0$ is a significant figure and when it isn't: http://www.staff.vu.edu.au/mcaonline/units/numbers/numsig.html
