I will send $100 to the first person who can reverse engineer how Target calculated the $162.10 total amount on this receipt.

This is not a joke. I’m totally serious.

The first person to build me a spreadsheet showing exactly how the $162.10 total amount is calculated (step-by-step with explanation, including how to calculate the $64.67 taxable amount in the red box), will be sent $100 via Venmo, PayPal, etc.

I’ll update this post as soon as someone replies with a correct solution.

All the information you need is provided on the receipt below (it’s a real receipt I downloaded from my Target account and has not been altered except to blur out some of my personal information).

FYI, I got a $10 promotional gift card with this order which shows up as the PROMO GFTCRD ($0) charge on the receipt.

T = Taxable item

N = Nontaxable item

F = Food item
