At a French restaurant, you order a salad for $5.75 and lasagna for $11.45. If the sales tax is 5%, what is the total of your bill including sales tax?

Question

A $18.06
B $17.79
C $22.20
D $6.32

Answer 1

To calculate the total bill, we need to first find the amount of sales tax paid on the food.

Sales tax = 5% of (cost of salad + cost of lasagna)
Sales tax = 5% of ($5.75 + $11.45)
Sales tax = 5% of $17.20
Sales tax = $0.86

Now we add the cost of the food and the sales tax to get the total bill.

Total bill = cost of salad + cost of lasagna + sales tax
Total bill = $5.75 + $11.45 + $0.86
Total bill = $18.06

Therefore, the total bill including sales tax is option A) $18.06.
