To find the tip, we need to calculate the post-tax bill and then calculate 20% of that amount.
First, let's calculate the tax amount:
Tax = 8% * $23.50 = $1.88
Now let's calculate the post-tax bill:
Post-tax bill = $23.50 + $1.88 = $25.38
Finally, let's calculate the tip:
Tip = 20% * $25.38 = $5.08
Jackie left a tip of $5.08.
The correct answer is B) $5.08.
