To find out how much money Riley needs to earn, we can use a proportional relationship.
Since the jacket is $49.99, we need to add the sales tax to this amount.
7.25% of $49.99 = 0.0725 * 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.
