Answer 1

To calculate the total bill, we need to add up the cost of the food and then apply the tax.

1. Calculate the cost of the hamburgers and fries:

   • 2 deluxe hamburgers and fries: $2\times 14.95=29.90$

2. Calculate the cost of the sodas:

   • 2 large sodas: $2\times 3.49=6.98$

3. Calculate the cost of the chocolate cake:

   • 2 pieces of chocolate cake: $2\times 7.95=15.90$

4. Total cost before tax: $$29.90+6.98+15.90=52.78$$

5. Calculate the tax:

   • Tax rate is 8.21%, so: $$\text{Tax}=52.78\times 0.0821\approx 4.33$$

6. Total cost with tax: $$52.78+4.33\approx 57.11$$

So, Jackson's total bill with tax will be approximately $57.11. The correct response is:

$57.11
