Answer 1

To find Louisa's total bill, you need to calculate the sales tax and then add it to the original price of the snake.

1. Calculate the sales tax: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Tax Rate} = 199.00 \times 0.0725 \] \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 14.3775 \]

2. Round the sales tax to the nearest hundredth: \[ \text{Sales Tax} \approx 14.38 \]

3. Calculate the total bill: \[ \text{Total Bill} = \text{Price} + \text{Sales Tax} = 199.00 + 14.38 = 213.38 \]

Therefore, Louisa's total bill is $213.38.
