    Since the sales tax was 0.06 ...

    Letting p represent the original price of the jacket:

    1.06p=48.23

    p=48.23/1.06

    p=45.50

    Therefore, the original price of the jacket was $45.50

    I think the answer it 40 dollars because why would a jacket cost 48.23. If it's wrong sorry but that why I think, or maybe 45 but I don't think so.
