The total cost for the catering, venue, and DJ is $325 + $250 + $375 = $<<325+250+375=950>>950.
The sales tax for Shardell's portion is $950 * 9% = $<<950*9*.01=85.5>>85.5
Shardell's portion without tax is $950 / 2 = $<<950/2=475>>475
Shardell's portion with tax is $475 + $85.5 = $<<475+85.5=560.5>>560.5. Answer: \boxed{560.5}.

Your wrong
Apologies for any confusion. Let's go through the calculations again to find Shardell's portion.
1. Calculate the total cost of catering, venue, and DJ:
$325 (catering) + $250 (venue) + $375 (DJ) = $950
2. Calculate the 9% state tax on the total cost:
$950 * 0.09 = $85.50
3. Add the state tax to the total cost:
$950 + $85.50 = $1035.50
4. Split the total cost in half, as Shardell and Marsha agreed to do:
$1035.50 / 2 = $517.75
Therefore, Shardell's portion will cost $517.75.
