W: May I help you, sir
M: Er, I’m wondering how much this book is.
W: There’s a price tag on the back page of each book. Have you seen it
M: Yes, I saw it. But I just can’t believe my eyes. Is it really $ 65
W: Well, I’ll check it through the scanner. Yes, it’s $65.
M: Wow! That’s a lot of money for a book.
W: Yes. Medical texts are usually very expensive.
M: Well, I regret choosing medicine as my major now. If I knew this earlier, I might choose to learn mathematics or something else.
W: Really
M: No, not really. I’m joking. I love medicine and hate mathematics. Although this book is quite expensive, I have to have it.
W: How would you like to pay for it, in cash or by credit card
M: In cash.
W: That’ll be $ 70. 36.
M: But you said it was $65.
W: Well, with tax, it comes to $ 70.36, sir.
M: There’s a tax even on books
W: I’m afraid so.
M: All right, here are two fifties.
W: Here’s your change. sir. It’s $ 29.64.
M: Thanks.
W: Have a nice day.
