Answer 1

Let's calculate the total cost of Jackson's lunch before tax and then apply the tax rate.

1. **Calculate the cost of the hamburgers and fries:**
- Cost of two deluxe hamburgers and fries: \(2 \times 14.95 = 29.90\)

2. **Calculate the cost of the large sodas:**
- Cost of two large sodas: \(2 \times 3.49 = 6.98\)

3. **Calculate the cost of the chocolate cake:**
- Cost of two pieces of chocolate cake: \(2 \times 7.95 = 15.90\)

4. **Add all costs together:**
\[
\text{Total before tax} = 29.90 + 6.98 + 15.90 = 52.78
\]

5. **Calculate the tax:**
- Tax amount: \(52.78 \times \frac{8.21}{100} = 4.327758\)
- Rounding to two decimal places gives us: \(4.33\)

6. **Calculate the total bill with tax:**
\[
\text{Total bill} = 52.78 + 4.33 = 57.11
\]

Therefore, the total bill with tax will be **$57.11**.

So, the correct response is:
**$57.11**
