Question

Zalia meets her friend at the science museum to see a special exhibition. The admission to the museum is $12.50 per person plus tax. Zalia pays for herself and her friend. They have lunch at the museum’s cafe. Zalia has a sandwich for $5.95, an apple for $1.25 and a drink for $1.69. She is charged tax and also tips her server 15%. If tax is 7.25%, how much did Zalia pay all total for her day at the science museum?

Answer 1

Alright, lets get started.

The admission to the museum is $12.50 plus tax per person.

So, the adimission fees for two person will be =
`12.5 * 2 = 25 $` $ per taxes

The tax is 7.25 % so, in total admission fees will be =
`25 + 25*(7.25)/(100)`

Total admission fees =
`25 + 1.8125= 26.8125`$

Zalia has a sandwich for $5.95, an apple for $1.25 and a drink for $1.69.

So, total expences on her fooding will be =
`5.95+1.25+1.69 = 8.89`$

Now expense value adding tax will be =
`8.89+ 8.89*(7.25)/(100) = 9.534525` $

She also tips her server 15%, amount of tip in her fooding expences =
`8.89*(15)/(100) = 1.3335`

So, all payment will be =
`26.8125+ 9.534525+1.3335 = 37.68` $

It means Zalia pay all total $ 37.68 for her day at the science museum. : Answer
