Answer:

I think it is $91.89.

Explanation:

1. Take the number and add sales tax by multiplying 0.0725 ( since that is what the percentage is in a decimal form). Then add that to the original and you have what it would be plus sales tax: $60.05.

2. Then you would need to multiply by 0.18. You would get 10.809

3. Next, subtract the 10.809 from $60.05 and the answer is $49.24.

I hope this helps! :)
