Answer 1

To find the total bill with tax, we will follow these steps:

1. Calculate the cost of the food items without tax.
2. Apply the tax rate.
3. Sum these amounts to get the final total.

Step 1: Calculate the cost of food items.

• Cost of two deluxe hamburgers and fries: \[ 2 \times 14.95 = 29.90 \]

• Cost of two large sodas: \[ 2 \times 3.49 = 6.98 \]

• Cost of two pieces of chocolate cake: \[ 2 \times 7.95 = 15.90 \]

Now, add these together: \[ 29.90 + 6.98 + 15.90 = 52.78 \]

Step 2: Calculate the tax.

Calculate the tax amount: \[ \text{Tax} = 52.78 \times 0.0821 \approx 4.33 \]

Step 3: Calculate the total bill with tax.

Add the tax to the cost of the food: \[ 52.78 + 4.33 = 57.11 \]

Therefore, Jackson's bill with tax is $57.11.
