Answer 1

The cost of the two deluxe hamburgers and fries is 2 * $14.95 = $<<2*14.95=29.90>>29.90.
The cost of the two large sodas is 2 * $3.49 = $<<2*3.49=6.98>>6.98.
The cost of the two pieces of chocolate cake is 2 * $7.95 = $<<2*7.95=15.90>>15.90.
The total cost before tax is $29.90 + $6.98 + $15.90 = $<<29.90+6.98+15.90=52.78>>52.78.
The amount of tax on the bill is $52.78 * 8.21% = $<<52.78*0.0821=4.33>>4.33.
Therefore, Jackson's bill with tax is $52.78 + $4.33 = $<<52.78+4.33=57.11>>57.11. Answer: \boxed{57.11}.
