Answer: $9.55.

Step-by-step explanation: So far, Sarah's meal is $8.99 and her tax rate is 6.2%. So 6.2% of $8.99 is 0.55738. We have to add 0.55738 with 8.99 to find the total cost of her meal:

8.99 + 0.55738 = 9.54738, or $9.55.

Therefore, Sarah's bill has a total of $9.55 with the tax.

Hope this helps! :)
