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?
The total cost of your meal before tax is $2.50 + $8.25 = $10.75.
To calculate the sales tax, we multiply the total cost by 8% (0.08):
Sales tax = $10.75 x 0.08 = $0.86
So the total cost of your meal including sales tax is:
Total cost = $10.75 + $0.86 = $11.61
Therefore, your total bill including sales tax is $11.61.
