Answer:

$46.25

Step-by-step explanation:

50 divided by 7.5% equals 3.75

Minus 3.75 from 50 to find the removed amount.

Answer:

Cost of the gift = $53.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost of the gift = cost of the earrings + (cost of the earrings × sale tax)

Cost of the gift = $50 + ($50 × .075)                      7.5% = .075

Cost of the gift = $50 + $3.75

Cost of the gift = $53.75
