First, we need to calculate the total cost of the jacket and the blouse:
- Jacket: $15.99
- Blouse: $7.49
Now, let's add these two amounts together:
\[
15.99 + 7.49 = 23.48
\]
Next, Tamara pays with two $20 bills:
\[
2 \times 20 = 40
\]
Now, we subtract the total cost from the amount she paid to find out how much change she will receive:
\[
40 - 23.48 = 16.52
\]
Therefore, Tamara should expect **$16.52** in change.
