Answer:

$53.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Elizabeth wants to buy her mother a pair of pearl earrings for mothers day.

The cost of earrings = $50.00

The sales tax rate = 7.5%

The total amount Elizabeth would pay = 50 +(7.5% of 50)

                                                         = 50 +([tex]\frac{7.5}{100}\times 50[/tex])

                                                          = 50 + (0.075 × 50)

                                                          = 50 + 3.75

                                                          = $53.75      

The total amount would be $53.75 to purchase this gift.
