    5.95 + 1.50+2.40=9.85 then for tax, 9.85 * 0.065 = 0.64, then total all, 9.85+0.64 = 10.49 ... after round the total $10.49=$10.50 ... so the answer is $10.50

    Hamburger = $5.95, fries = $1.50, drink = $2.40; add all of these values up to calculate the total price of your lunch, excluding tax.

    5.95 + 1.50 + 2.40 = 9.85

    The total price of your lunch (w/o tax) is $9.85. Now let's find the price with the tax of 6.5%.

    Multiply $9.85 by 6.5%, or 0.065 to find the tax.

    9.85 * 0.065 = 0.64025

    Add the tax price onto the total price.

    9.85 + 0.64025 = 10.49025

    The answer wants the final price rounded to the nearest cent, which is the hundredths place, so the final answer is 10.49.

    Your lunch cost $10.49 in total (w / tax).
