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.

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
