Louisa purchased a new snake for $199.00. Sales tax is 7.25%. What is her total bill? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.(1

To calculate Louisa's total bill, we need to first calculate the sales tax and then add it to the purchase price of the snake.

1. Calculate the sales tax: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Sales Tax Rate} \] \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 199.00 \times 0.0725 = 14.3975 \]

2. Round the sales tax to the nearest cent: \[ \text{Sales Tax} \approx 14.40 \]

3. Calculate the total bill: \[ \text{Total Bill} = \text{Price} + \text{Sales Tax} \] \[ \text{Total Bill} = 199.00 + 14.40 = 213.40 \]

Thus, Louisa's total bill is $213.40.
