Answer:

The sales tax is .76

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find out the tax and then add it to the bill.

tax = 8.95 * 8.5 %

tax = 8.95 * .085

tax = .76

new amount = 8.95+.76

new amount =9.71

Now we need to add the tip to the new amount

tip = 9.71 * 15%

    = 9.71 *.15

    =1.46

The total amount paid is 9.71+1.46=11.17
