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
