To find out how much money Riley needs to earn, we need to calculate the total cost of the jacket including the state sales tax.
The state sales tax is 7.25%, which means Riley needs to pay an additional 7.25% of the jacket's price.
So, the amount of money Riley needs to pay as the state sales tax is (7.25/100) * $49.99 = $3.62.
Therefore, Riley needs to earn $49.99 + $3.62 = $53.61.
Rounding to the nearest dollar, Riley needs to earn $54.
Hence, the answer is A. $54.
