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

[tex]\$3.99+\$7.17\\\\=\$11.16[/tex]

Rate of sales tax = 5%

So, Amount of sales tax would be

[tex]\dfrac{5}{100}\times 11.16\\\\=0.05\times 11.16\\\\=\$0.558[/tex]

So, the amount after tax becomes

[tex]\$11.16+0.558\\\\=\$11.718[/tex]

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