To find Shardell's portion of the cost, we need to add up the total cost of the catering, venue, and DJ, and then divide it by 2 since they split the cost evenly.
Total cost = Catering bill + Venue bill + DJ bill
Total cost = $325 + $250 + $375
Total cost = $950
Shardell's portion = Total cost / 2
Shardell's portion = $950 / 2
Shardell's portion = $475
However, we also need to consider the 9% state tax. To find Shardell's portion after adding the state tax, we need to calculate 9% of $475 and add it to her portion.
State tax = 9% of $475
State tax = $475 * 0.09
State tax = $42.75
Shardell's final portion cost = Shardell's portion + State tax
Shardell's final portion cost = $475 + $42.75
Shardell's final portion cost = $517.75
Therefore, Shardell's portion will cost $517.75.
