Answer: He would paid $58.85 for the jacket including sales tax.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of jacket = $55

Rate of sales tax = 7%

So, Amount he paid for sales tax is given by

$(7)/(100)* 55\\\\=(7* 55)/(100)\\\\=3.85\ liters$

So, Total amount he paid for the jacket including sales tax is given by

$\$55+\$3.85\\\\=\$58.85$

Hence, He would paid $58.85 for the jacket including sales tax.
