At a French restaurant, you order a salad for $2.50 and lasagna for $8.25. If the sales
tax is 8%, what is the total of your bill including sales tax?
First, find the cost of the salad and lasagna before tax: $2.50 + $8.25 = $<<2.5+8.25=10.75>>10.75
Then multiply that number by 8% to find the sales tax: $10.75 × 8% = $0.86
Finally, add that tax amount to the cost of the salad and lasagna to find your total bill: $10.75 + $0.86 = $<<10.75+0.86=11.61>>11.61. Answer: \boxed{11.61}.
