Answer 1

To find the total bill with tax, we need to calculate the subtotal first, and then apply the tax.

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. Calculate the subtotal: \[ \text{Subtotal} = 29.90 + 6.98 + 15.90 = 52.78 \]

5. Calculate the tax:

   • Tax rate: \( 8.21% = 0.0821 \)
   • Tax amount: \[ \text{Tax} = 52.78 \times 0.0821 \approx 4.33 \]

6. Calculate the total bill: \[ \text{Total} = \text{Subtotal} + \text{Tax} = 52.78 + 4.33 \approx 57.11 \]

So, the final total bill with tax is approximately $57.11.

The correct response is 57.11 dollars.
