to buy are $35.99, plus 8% tax. The same
books are available at E-bay for $25, but she

You can put this solution on YOUR website! case 1) $ 35.99 * 1.08 tax = $ 38.87 total
.
case 2) $ 25 + $ 13 shipping = $ 38 total
.
case 2 is cheaper
.
doing it the hard way,, $ 35.99 * .08 tax = $2.88 tax
adding tax to original price ,,, $ 35.99 + $ 2.88 = $ 38.87 total ,,,,as above
