Answer:

The answer is $ 59.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, I know this is not one of the options, but hear me out:

To find the sales tax for that item, you need to multiply the dollar amount by the sales tax (in percent):

$55 * 8.8% = $4.84

So the sales tax is $4.84.  However, the question asks "How much would you pay for that item?", not what the sales tax is.  So I would solve this problem by adding the sales tax to the dollar amount of the item:

$55 + $4.84 = $ 59.84

If you are able to write or type your answer, I would type $ 59.84. If you can only select one of the given values, then I would suggest going with             A: $ 4.84 just because its the only number that is actually relevant at all to the problem.

Therefore, a is 7 aka real part and b is 19 which is imaginary part.
