To calculate the total amount you need to pay, you first need to find the amount of sales tax on the shoes.
Sales Tax = 7.25% of $49.99
Sales Tax = (7.25/100) * $49.99
Sales Tax = $3.624275.
Now, add the sales tax to the price of the shoes to find the total amount you need to pay.
Total amount = $49.99 + $3.624275
Total amount = $53.614275.
Rounding the total amount to the nearest dollar, you need to pay $54.
