To calculate the total bill, you first need to find the tax amount and then add it to the food total.
1. **Calculate the tax amount:**
\[
\text{Tax} = \text{Food Total} \times \text{Tax Rate} = 48.52 \times 0.065 = 3.1523
\]
2. **Round the tax amount to the nearest hundredth:**
\[
\text{Tax} \approx 3.15
\]
3. **Calculate the total bill:**
\[
\text{Total Bill} = \text{Food Total} + \text{Tax} = 48.52 + 3.15 = 51.67
\]
So, the total bill is **$51.67**.
