To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the amount of sales tax that Riley will need to pay.

$49.99 * 0.0725 = $3.624275

Now, we add this tax amount to the price of the jacket:

$49.99 + $3.62 = $53.61

Rounded to the nearest dollar, Riley will need to earn $54 to purchase the jacket.

Therefore, the answer is $54.
