1 answer

To find the answer, we need to add the prices of the salad and lasagna, then multiply the result by the tax rate and add that amount to the total.

Salad = $5.75
Lasagna = $11.45
Total before tax = $5.75 + $11.45 = $17.20

Tax = 5% of $17.20 = (5/100) x $17.20 = $0.86

Total bill including tax = $17.20 + $0.86 = $18.06

Therefore, the answer is A) $18.06.
