$63.53 rounded to 2 decimal places

Explanation:

2 shirts:#" "->2xx$14.50" " =" " $29.00#
1 pair shoes:#" "->1xx$29.99" "=" "ul($29.99) larr" add"#
#" "$58.99#

Tax:#" "6/100xx$58.99" "=" "$3.5394# exactly

Adding these two together

#$59.99#
#ul($color(white)(5)3.5394)" "larr" add"#
#$63.5294#

This is $63.53 rounded to 2 decimal places
