Answer 2

The correct answer is:

b. $37.68

Explanation:

Each admission ticket is 12.50 plus tax. 2 tickets at 12.50 each is

2(12.50) = 25

Tax for this is 7.25%; 7.25% = 7.25/100 = 0.0725;

25+25(0.0725) = 25(1.0725) = 26.82

For lunch, she spent

5.95+1.25+1.69 = $8.89.

Tax for this would be 0.0725(8.89) = $0.64

15% tip on this would be 8.89(0.15) = $1.33

This gives us

8.89+0.64+1.33 = $10.86 for lunch.

This is a total of

26.82+10.86 = $37.68.
