However, /dev/null is likely to be even less responsive than Geert

125.85 gross with a 20% VAT would correspond to a net price of 104.875.
Since net prices aren't priced to the thousandth of a Euro, that would
really be 104.87 or 104.88. For the former, the gross price would be
(unrounded) 124.844, which would round to 124.84. For the latter, the gross
price would be 125.856, which would round to 124.86.
