Answers
Answer:
zalia paid a total of $37.76 for her day at the science museum
Step-by-step explanation:
Admission fee for the museum per person = 12.5 + tax
= 12.5 + 0.0725 x 12.5
= 13.4
So admission fee for two person = 13.4 x 2 = 26.8
Food bill at the restaurant = 5.95 + 1.25 + 1.69 + tax
= 8.89 + 0.0725 x 8.89
= 9.53
Tip given to the server = 15% of 9.53
= 0.15 x 9.53
= 1.43
net expenditure at the science museum = 26.8 + 9.53 + 1.43
= $ 37.76
Hence zalia paid a total of $37.76 for her day at the science museum

___________
Given that : The tax of admission to the museum of a person is $12.50.
Then, tax of admission to the museum of two numbers :
2×12.50= 25
Tax : 7.25%
=> 7.25/100 = 0.0725
Now, according to the question :
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
Now,
8.89+0.64+1.33 = $10.86 for lunch.
So, Zahida paid all total for her day at the science museum :
26.82+10.86 = $37.68
