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
