16.95, you do 12.74+1.87 (tip) +2.30= 16.91 but you would typically round up, making your total 16.95

Including the cost of the order, the delivery charge, and the tip, the total cost will be $17.30

We know that the cost of the order is $12.74, there is a $2.30 delivery charge, and there is a tip of 15% of her total.

Then for the order and the delivery charge we have:

C = $12.74 + $2.30 = $15.04

If we now add a 15% of that amount for the tip, we will get:

$15.04 + (15%/100%)*$15.04 = $17.30

So the correct option is d.
