a plate and two large sodas at $3.49

$26.39

$28.56
To calculate the total bill with tax, we need to add up the cost of each item and then multiply by the tax rate.
Cost of 2 deluxe hamburgers and fries = 2 * $14.95 = $29.90
Cost of 2 large sodas = 2 * $3.49 = $6.98
Cost of 2 pieces of chocolate cake = 2 * $7.95 = $15.90
Total cost before tax = $29.90 + $6.98 + $15.90 = $52.78
Tax amount = 8.21% of $52.78 = 0.0821 * $52.78 = $4.34
Total bill with tax = $52.78 + $4.34 = $57.12
Therefore, Jackson's bill with tax will be $57.12.
