9. 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 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.
