1. Identify the Cost of the Gallon of Milk:
The cost of a gallon of milk is given as [tex]\( \$3.50 \)[/tex].
2. Determine if the Gallon of Milk is Subject to Sales Tax:

3. Calculate the Total Cost:
Since the gallon of milk is not subject to sales tax, the total cost is simply the cost per item, which is:
[tex]\[
