1. **State the problem:** We need to find the total volume of a wedding tent composed of a right rectangular prism and a rectangular pyramid on top.
2. **Identify dimensions:**
- Prism dimensions: length $l=40$ ft, width $w=29$ ft, height $h=7$ ft
- Pyramid height $H=4$ ft
3. **Formulas:**
- Volume of prism: $$V_{prism} = l \times w \times h$$
- Volume of rectangular pyramid: $$V_{pyramid} = \frac{1}{3} \times l \times w \times H$$
4. **Calculate prism volume:**
$$V_{prism} = 40 \times 29 \times 7 = 8120$$
5. **Calculate pyramid volume:**
$$V_{pyramid} = \frac{1}{3} \times 40 \times 29 \times 4$$
$$= \frac{1}{3} \times 4640$$
$$= \frac{\cancel{4640}}{3}$$ (4640 is not divisible by 3, so keep fraction)
$$= 1546.666\ldots$$
6. **Calculate total volume:**
$$V_{total} = V_{prism} + V_{pyramid} = 8120 + 1546.666\ldots = 9666.666\ldots$$
7. **Round to nearest tenth:**
$$V_{total} \approx 9666.7$$ ft$^3$
**Final answer:** The total volume of the tent is approximately $9666.7$ cubic feet.
