Given :

Cost of Sweater = $50

Sales tax rate = 6%

So, total cost of sweater = $50 + 6% sales tax on sweater

                                            =$50 + (50/100) * 6

                                            =$50 + 3

                                            = $53

 

Thus, Anna paid $53 for the sweater.
