To calculate Cheryl's portion of the total cost, we need to add up the costs of the catering, the bill, the DJ, and the state taxes, and then divide it by 2 since they agreed to split the cost.
Total cost = Catering bill + Bill + DJ + State taxes
Total cost = $325 + $250 + $375 + (9% of the total cost)
Let's find out the total cost first:
Total cost = $325 + $250 + $375 = $950
Next, we need to calculate the state taxes:
State taxes = 9% of the total cost
State taxes = 0.09 * $950 = $85.50
Now, we can calculate Cheryl's portion of the total cost:
Cheryl's portion = (Total cost + State taxes) / 2
Cheryl's portion = ($950 + $85.50) / 2 = $1035.50 / 2 = $517.75
Therefore, Cheryl's portion of the total cost will be $517.75.
