Question 20 • (2026-2027) Monyok -- Art I -- 1st nine weeks

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
A
$41.43
B
$37.68
C
$36.35
D
$24.27

Explanation

Each admission costs $12.50 × 1.0725 = $13.40625, or $13.41 rounded to the nearest cent. For two people, that is $26.82. Zalia’s lunch is $5.95 + $1.25 + $1.69 = $8.89; tax is $0.64 and a 15% tip on the food subtotal is $1.33. Adding $26.82 + $8.89 + $0.64 + $1.33 gives $37.68, choice B.
