The correct answer is $54. Since the state sales tax is 7.25%, we can find the amount of tax by multiplying the cost of the jacket by 7.25%: $49.99 * 0.0725 = $3.62. Adding the tax to the cost of the jacket, Riley needs to earn $49.99 + $3.62 = $54. Rounded to the nearest dollar, he needs to earn $54.
