Answer: B.  $82.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The percent of tax Lonnie pays = 5%=0.05

He just bought $80 in groceries, but not $30 worth of those groceries were taxable.

i.e. The taxable amount = [tex]\$80-\$30=\$50[/tex]

Now, the amount of tax on $50 = [tex]0.05\times50=\$2.50[/tex]

Now, the total amount that Lonnie paid for groceries, including sales tax is given by :-

[tex]\$80+\$2.50=\$82.50[/tex]

Hence, the  total amount that lonnie paid for groceries, including sales tax =  $82.50 .
