To find Shardell's portion, we need to calculate the total cost of everything first.
The total cost of catering, venue, and DJ is:
$325 + $250 + $375 = $<<325+250+375=950>>950
Then, we need to calculate the 9% tax on the total cost:
9% of $950 = $<<950*0.09=85.50>>85.50
To find Shardell's portion, we need to divide the total cost including tax by 2:
($950 + $85.50) / 2 = $<<(950+85.50)/2=517.75>>517.75
Therefore, Shardell's portion will cost $517.75.
Shardell and Marsha are planning a party. Since they are both hosting, they have agreed to spilt the cost for everything in half. The catering bill is $325, the venue bill is $250, and the DJ is $375. If state tax is 9%, what will Shardell's portion cost? (1 point)
