To calculate the total price including sales tax, you can follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the sales tax**:
Sales tax = Price of the pants × Sales tax rate
\[
\text{Sales tax} = 36 \times 0.05 = 1.80
\]

2. **Calculate the total price**:
Total price = Price of the pants + Sales tax
\[
\text{Total price} = 36 + 1.80 = 37.80
\]

Thus, the total price including tax is **$37.80**.
