Store A will be the better buy.

The price will be $53.70 after sales tax at store A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of Jacket at store A = $59.60

Discount = 15%

Discount Amount = $\frac{15}{100}*59.60\\$

Discount Amount = $0.15*59.60=\$8.94$

Price after discount = Original price - Discount amount

Price after discount = 59.60 - 8.94 = $50.66

Price of Jacket at store B = $50.99

The price at store A becomes less than store B after discount, therefore, buying from store A is better.

Sales tax = 6%

Sales tax amount = $\frac{6}{100}*50.66$

Sales tax amount = $0.06*50.66=\$3.0396$

Price after sales tax = Discount price at store A + Sales tax amount

Price after sales tax = 50.66 + 3.0396 = $53.6996

Rounding off to nearest hundredth;

Price after sales tax = $53.70

The price will be $53.70 after sales tax at store A.
