Her total bill would be $ 212.42
Total amount of money spent by her = $208
Tax rate = 4.25%
Amount that was taxed = half of merchandise bought by her.
Total bill = Initial bill + Tax amount
Since the tax was calculated on half of her bill, thus we have:
[tex]Tax = \dfrac{\text{Half of money spend by her} \times 4.25}{100}\\\\Tax = \dfrac{\dfrac{208}{2} \times 4.25}{100} = \dfrac{104 \times 4.25}{100}\\\\Tax = 1.04 \times 4.25 = \$4.42[/tex]
Thus,
Total amount of bill = Initial bill + Tax amount = $208 + $4.42 = $212.42
