Answer:   The exact answer is: $ 39,856 approaching: $ 40.00

Explanation:  

First,  the value of the sales tax corresponding to 6% is determined:             $ 42.4  x  0.06  =  $  2,544

Now subtract $ 2,544 from the total value of the purchase

               $ 42.4 - $ 2,544 = $ 39,856 approx. $ 40.00 this is the value of the pre-tax gift

Those who forget about the past are doomed to repeat it.

This means that we have to study the past, the actions and consequences of these actions, and learn from them, and if we are not doing this, we can make mistakes that could otherwise be avoided. (Example: ignoring ethnic and religious tensions has led to wars in the past, but these wars could have been foreseen).<span />
