To find the tax paid for the pair of earrings, we calculate 5.7% of $88:
Tax = 0.057 * $88 = $5.02
Therefore, the tax paid is $5.02.
To find the total cost of the pair of earrings, we add the tax paid to the list price:
Total cost = $88 + $5.02 = $93.02
Therefore, the total cost of the pair of earrings is $93.02.
