I just received my online order for an M18 orbital sander, which came with a free battery. The sander cost $86.05, and the battery was originally priced at $62.95, totaling $149 before tax. I actually don't want the battery, so I'm wondering if I can return it for the standard price of $109. If that's the case, would the sander then only cost me about $40? (Edit: I think I messed up the math earlier)

From what I understand, returning the battery shouldn't affect your deal too much. You'll get back $62.95 plus any sales tax on that, so it could still work out alright for you!
Just to clarify, the total you calculated before any discounts isn't correct. The total before tax is actually $149, so it doesn't add up the way you stated. Be careful with those calculations!
Yeah, my mistake! That makes more sense now.
Oops, I totally missed that too!
Unfortunately, you won't get the full price back for the battery. Instead, you'll get the reduced price back, which is $62.95. So that would leave you paying around $100.13 after tax for the sander, which still sounds like a decent deal to me!
So, I'd end up paying $100.13 plus tax for it? Still a good deal to me.
Thanks for clarifying that! You’ve earned an upvote from me.

Thanks! That still sounds like a good deal to me!
