Use proportional relationships to solve the following problem. Rylie needs to earn enough money to purchase a new jacket the one he likes best is 49.99 estate sales tax is 7.25%. How much money does he need to earn round to the nearest dollar
A. $50
B. $54
C.$3.62
D.$82
To calculate the total amount of money Rylie needs to earn, we need to first find the amount of sales tax on the jacket.
7.25% of $49.99 = $49.99 * 0.0725 = $3.62
Then, we add the sales tax to the original price of the jacket to find the total amount Rylie needs to earn:
$49.99 + $3.62 = $53.61
Rounding to the nearest dollar, Rylie needs to earn $54.
Therefore, the correct answer is (B) $54.
