    Amount of money paid by the shopper including tax = $51.93

    Actual cost of the item = $48.99

    Then

    Amount of tax paid = (51.93 - 48.99) dollars

    = 2.94 dollars

    So

    Percentage of tax taken = (2.94/48.99) * 100

    = 294/48.99

    = 6.00 percent

    Cost of another item = $75

    percentage of tax to be given = 6%

    Amount of tax to be paid = (6/100) * 75

    = 450/100 dollars

    = 4.5 dollars

    So

    The total payment for the item costing $75 is = (75 + 4.5) dollars

    = 79.5 dollars

    So $79.5 needs to be paid by her for the item priced $75.
