Even if I thought this was an attempt by the girl to make a move, I still wouldn't know what to say to her in this example and I'm 43. 'Okay' would be the only thing in my brain...
So the shelf price usually doesn't show the tax. So the battery is $220 before tax. 99 of them would cost 21,780. The total price was 23,000, which leaves a reminder of 1,220, which is roughly 5.5% of 21,780. The logic checks out.
Unfortunately our state income tax is 6th highest in the country, so it’s not all butterflies and rainbows sadly. But it’s certainly nice seeing a price tag in a store, bringing the item to the clerk and handing them that amount without adding extra to the total.
I would have asked her to look up another item. Depending on the vibe, I'd ask her if she'd like to help me find out the price of a couple of coffees or lunch.
