Answer 2

$37.67

Explanation:

If its 12.50 per person, and Zalia brings her and a friend in thats:

12.50 + 12.50 = $25

And all the snacks together is:

5.95 + 1.25 + 1.69 = $8.89

Tip is about $1.33 so make that $10.22.

Not including the tip, the price of the day was $33.89.

7.25 percent of that is $2.45.

The total of the day was:

33.89 + 1.33 + 2.45 = $37.67

Hope this helps!! ~Chaos
