Answer 2

Answer: Amount he paid included tax would be $11.718.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of Italian salad = $3.99

Cost of fettuccine Alfredo = $7.17

Total cost would be

$\ 3.99+\ 7.17\\\\=\ 11.16$

Rate of sales tax = 5%

So, Amount of sales tax would be

$\dfrac{5}{100}\times 11.16\\\\=0.05\times 11.16\\\\=\ 0.558$

So, the amount after tax becomes

$\ 11.16+0.558\\\\=\ 11.718$

Hence, Amount he paid included tax would be $11.718.
