To calculate the bill with tax, we need to add up the cost of the items and then add on the tax.
The cost of two deluxe hamburgers and fries is 2 * $14.95 = $29.90.
The cost of two large sodas is 2 * $3.49 = $6.98.
The cost of two pieces of chocolate cake is 2 * $7.95 = $15.90.
The subtotal of the bill before tax is $29.90 + $6.98 + $15.90 = $52.78.
To calculate the tax, we multiply the subtotal by 8.21% or 0.0821: $52.78 * 0.0821 = $4.33.
Finally, we add the tax to the subtotal to get the total bill amount: $52.78 + $4.33 = $57.11.
Therefore, Jackson's bill with tax will be $57.11.
