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 point)

To calculate Louisa's total bill including sales tax, you can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the sales tax by multiplying the purchase price by the sales tax rate.
2. Add the sales tax to the original purchase price.

Here are the calculations:

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

2. Add the sales tax to the original price: \[ \text{Total Bill} = \text{Purchase Price} + \text{Sales Tax} = 199.00 + 14.3975 \] \[ \text{Total Bill} = 213.3975 \]

3. Round to the nearest hundredth: \[ \text{Total Bill} \approx 213.40 \]

Therefore, Louisa's total bill is $213.40.
