The correct answer is B$3.45.
To calculate the total amount a customer pays for the apple pie slice, you need to add the tax amount to the original price.
8% of $3.25 is ($3.25 * 0.08) = $0.26.
Then, you add the tax amount to the original price: $3.25 + $0.26 = $3.51.
However, the options provided do not match this calculation. The closest option is B$3.45.
