The correct answer is $30.41.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Myree's bill at a restaurant was $24.20 before tax.

The sales tax rate was 5%. Sales tax charged on the bill is 5% of $24.20 = $ 1.21.

Ms. Myree also included a $5 tip.

Total amount spent by Ms. Myree at the restaurant is given by $ (24.20 + 5 + 1.21) = $30.41.

Thus Ms. Myree spent $30.41 at the restaurant.
