A jewelry store bought a gold necklace and marked it up 110% from the original cost of $23.52. Later on, Dean purchased the gold necklace and paid 14.75% sales tax. How much, including tax, did he pay for the gold necklace?

110% of 23.52 = 25.872
25.872 + 23.52 = 49.392
14.75% of 49.392 = 6.91488
49.392 + 6.91488 = $56.31 to 2dp
