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?
A $18.06
B $17.79
C $22.20
D $6.32
To solve this problem, we need to add the cost of the salad and lasagna, and then calculate 5% of the total to find the sales tax. Finally, we add the sales tax to the total to get the final bill amount.
The cost of the salad and lasagna is:
$5.75 + $11.45 = $17.20
The sales tax is:
5% of $17.20 = $0.86
The total bill amount including sales tax is:
$17.20 + $0.86 = $18.06
Therefore, the answer is A) $18.06.
