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?

Museum admission fee = $12.50

Lunch = 5.95 + 1.25 + 1.69 = $8.89
Tax = 7.25% of 8.89 = 0.66675
Tip = 15% of 8.89 = 1.3335
Total spend for lunch = 8.89 + 0.66675 + 1.3335 = 10.89

Total spend for the day = 10.89 + 12.50 = $23.39

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 = [tex]12.5 * 2 = 25 $[/tex] $ per taxes

The tax is 7.25 % so, in total admission fees will be = [tex]25 + 25*\frac{7.25}{100}[/tex]

Total admission fees = [tex]25 + 1.8125= 26.8125[/tex]$

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 = [tex]5.95+1.25+1.69 = 8.89[/tex]$

Now expense value adding tax will be = [tex]8.89+ 8.89*\frac{7.25}{100} = 9.534525[/tex] $

She also tips her server 15%, amount of tip in her fooding expences = [tex]8.89*\frac{15}{100} = 1.3335[/tex]

So, all payment will be = [tex]26.8125+ 9.534525+1.3335 = 37.68[/tex] $

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