Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate museum admission cost

$12.50\times2 = 25$

Step2: Calculate lunch cost

$5.95 + 1.25+1.69=8.89$

Step3: Calculate subtotal of admission and lunch

$25 + 8.89=33.89$

Step4: Calculate tax amount

$33.89\times0.0725 = 2.457025$

Step5: Calculate tip amount

$8.89\times0.15 = 1.3335$

Step6: Calculate total amount

$33.89+2.457025 + 1.3335=37.680525\approx37.68$

Answer:

B. $37.68$
