2(3.49)+17.95=24.93

24.93+.04(24.93)= 25.93

Answer:

The total bill is $25.93

Explanation:

If you order two drinks at a cost of $3.49 each the total cost of the drinks will be 2 × $3.49 = $6.98

The total cost of the drinks and the entree is:

= 17.95+6.98 = $24.93

The sales tax is 4% of the total cost of the drinks and entree:

= 24.93*0.04 = $0.9972

Therefore the total bill is:

= 24.93+0.9972 = $25.93
