Case 1 (discount 6%):

Subtotal:   750.00
Discount:   45.00
Handling cost:  24.32
21% VAT:    0.00
Total (this is the amount you will deposit):    729.32

Case 2 (discount 7%):

Subtotal:   1250.00
Discount:   87.50
Handling cost:  39.88
21% VAT:    0.00
Total (this is the amount you will deposit):    1202.38 

Where i am applying this formula:

(729.32  - 0.35) / 1.034/ 0.94   =  750.00    (<<--- CORRECT ) ?

(1202.38 - 0.35) / 1.034/ 0.93   = 1250.01    (<<--- My problem why not 1250.00) ?

How to correct the 7% formula to get exactly 1250.00 ? Instead of fraction error.
