To find the total amount of money Riley needs to earn, you need to add the price of the jacket to the sales tax.
Sales tax = 7.25% of $49.99
Sales tax = 0.0725 * $49.99
Sales tax = $3.62 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Total amount of money Riley needs to earn = $49.99 + $3.62
Total amount of money Riley needs to earn = $53.61 (rounded to the nearest dollar)
Therefore, Riley needs to earn $54 to purchase the new jacket.
