    The correct answer is C. US$ 13.38

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's check the information given:

    Cost of winter coat = US$ 237

    Cost of mittens = US$ 3.15 each

    Sales tax rate in New York = 5.5%

    Total purchase = Cost of winter coat + Cost of mittens

    Total purchase = 237 + 2 * 3.15

    Total purchase = 237 + 6.30

    Total purchase = US$ 243.30

    2. Calculation of the Sales tax rate in New York

    Sales tax rate in the purchase = 243.30 * 5.5%

    Sales tax rate = 243.30 * 0.055

    Sales tax rate = US$ 13.38
