To calculate the total sales tax a customer will pay on both the large photo and the large frame, first, we need to determine the total cost before tax.
1. **Cost of the large photo**: $50
2. **Cost of the large frame**: $40
Now, sum these amounts:
\[
\text{Total cost before tax} = 50 + 40 = 90 \text{ dollars}
\]
Next, we calculate the sales tax at a rate of 5%:
\[
\text{Sales tax} = \text{Total cost before tax} \times \text{Sales tax rate}
\]
\[
\text{Sales tax} = 90 \times 0.05 = 4.5 \text{ dollars}
\]
Thus, the total tax a customer will pay on both the large photo and the large frame is **$4.50**.
