To calculate the total bill with tax, we first need to calculate the subtotal by adding up the cost of each item.
Two deluxe hamburgers and fries: 2 * $14.95 = $29.90
Two large sodas: 2 * $3.49 = $6.98
Two pieces of chocolate cake: 2 * $7.95 = $15.90
Subtotal: $29.90 + $6.98 + $15.90 = $52.78
Next, we need to calculate the tax. The tax rate is 8.21%, so we multiply the subtotal by 0.0821 (or divide by 100 and then multiply by 8.21).
Tax: $52.78 * 0.0821 = $4.33
Finally, to get the total bill, we add the subtotal and the tax.
Total: $52.78 + $4.33 = $57.11
So the correct answer is $57.11.
