To find the total cost plus the sales tax, we need to multiply the cost of the food by the sales tax rate and add it to the cost of the food:
Sales tax = 8.875% = 0.08875
Total cost = $15 + ($15 x 0.08875) = $16.33 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Therefore, the total cost plus the sales tax is $16.33.
