Step-by-step explanation:

We need to organize all information

Admission to the museum:

Entry is $12.50.

With tax: 12.50 + 0.0725(12.50) = $13.41

Lunch, sandwich, apple and drink:

$5.95 + $1.25 + $1.69 = $8.89

Tip is 15%: 8.89(0.15)=$1.33

Total expenses lunch with tax: 10.22 + 0.0725(10.22) = $10.96

Total expenses: 13.41 + 10.96 = $24.37

Therefore, the answer is d.

Notice that the problem is asking just for her expenses, her friend's expenses are not included.
