This is probably some US nonsense where the battery was $220 without tax, and the value at the register for the 99 batteries was with tax.

Needless to say: ๐Ÿคข

Or OP meant to say one was $230 and 99 was $22,000.

I like this train of thought, but 99 x 230 = 22,770

The unstated premise being that $22,000 is discounted from $22,770 or OP just remembered the first two digits.
