    She will spend a total of $26.6285

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Determine the initial bill before tax and tips

    Initial bill=$22

    Step 2: Calculate the amount of the tax

    Tax amount=5.25% of the initial bill

    where;

    initial bill=22

    tax amount = (5.25/100) * 22=1.155

    replacing;

    Tax amount = (5.25/100) * 22=1.155

    The tax amount=$1.155

    Step 3: Calculate the subtotal after taxes

    The subtotal can be expressed as;

    Subtotal=tax amount+initial amount

    where;

    tax amount=$1.155

    initial amount=$22

    replacing;

    Subtotal = (22+1.155) = 23.155

    Subtotal=$23.155

    Step 4: Calculate total bill include tips

    Total bill=subtotal+15% of subtotal

    Total bill=23.155 + (15/100) * 23.155

    Total bill=$26.6285

    She will spend a total of $26.6285
