Answer 2

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

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

`(5)/(100)* 11.16\\\\=0.05* 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.
