Answer:

$44.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular Price = $42

Sales Tax Rate = 5  1/2% or 5.5%

The total cost would be the regular price PLUS the sales tax. We find the sales tax by finding 42's 5.5%.

First, converting percentage to decimal (dividing by 100):

5.5% = 5.5/100 = 0.055

Now finding 5.5% of $42:

42 * 0.055 = $2.31

Now, the total price is the SUM of regular and this sales tax:

Total Price = 42 + 2.31 = $44.31
