To calculate the total amount spent on the purchase including sales tax, you need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the shirts.
Candy bought 2 shirts, and each shirt costs $15.00.
Total cost of shirts = 2 * $15.00 = $30.00

Step 2: Add the cost of the jacket to the total cost of the shirts.
The jacket costs $28.00.
Total cost of shirts and jacket = $30.00 + $28.00 = $58.00

Step 3: Calculate the sales tax amount.
Candy paid a 4.5% sales tax on her purchase.
Sales tax amount = (4.5/100) * $58.00 = $2.61

Step 4: Add the sales tax amount to the total cost of shirts and jacket.
Total amount spent on the purchase including sales tax = $58.00 + $2.61 = $60.61

Therefore, the correct answer is $60.61.
