# Explanation:
## Step1: Calculate subtotal
$3.66 + 0.72+1.77 + 2.17=8.32$
## Step2: Calculate sales - tax amount
The sales - tax rate is $6\%=0.06$. The sales - tax amount is $8.32\times0.06 = 0.4992\approx0.50$
## Step3: Calculate total cost
The total cost is the subtotal plus the sales - tax amount, so $8.32+0.50 = 8.82$
# Answer:
C. Yes, the total of her purchase after sales tax is $8.82$.
