(4 * 4.98) + (2 * 8.29) + (2 * 8.09) = $______

52.68

Well, let me calculate that for you, but first let me grab my calculator, or as I like to call it, my "calc-u-lol-ator." Alright, 4 pillow cases at $4.98 each comes out to $19.92. Then we add 2 fitted sheets at $8.29 each, which gives us $16.58. Lastly, we add 2 flat sheets at $8.09 each, which amounts to $16.18. Now, if we add all those numbers together, we find that her total bill was a whopping $52.68. Hope that didn't cause too many arithmetic-induced giggles!

To calculate the total bill, we need to calculate the cost of each item first and then add them all together.

First, let's find the cost of the pillow cases. The shopper bought 4 pillow cases at $4.98 each. To find the total cost of the pillow cases, we multiply the cost per piece by the quantity: $4.98 x 4 = $19.92.

Next, let's find the cost of the fitted sheets. The shopper bought 2 fitted sheets at $8.29 each. To find the total cost of the fitted sheets, we multiply the cost per piece by the quantity: $8.29 x 2 = $16.58.

Finally, let's find the cost of the flat sheets. The shopper bought 2 flat sheets at $8.09 each. To find the total cost of the flat sheets, we multiply the cost per piece by the quantity: $8.09 x 2 = $16.18.

Now that we have the cost of each item, we can calculate the total bill by adding all the costs together: $19.92 (pillow cases) + $16.58 (fitted sheets) + $16.18 (flat sheets) = $52.68.

Therefore, the shopper's total bill is $52.68.
