The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)
I am going to paste what follows. You give your price list and the rate, and it drafts a quote and calculates the sales tax. Do not invent facts. Do not send quotes without your approval. Do not change your prices. Answer in this order: 1. Multiply each price by the quantity asked 2. Add cement and blocks per supplier 3.

You write
The customer wants 20 bags of cement and 50 blocks. Supplier A quoted 8 a bag and 1 a block. B quoted 7.50 a bag and 1.20 a block.
You get back
For the customer: 20 bags of cement and 50 blocks Supplier A - Cement 8 a bag. 20 bags: 160. - Block 1. 50 blocks: 50. - Total A: 210. Supplier B - Cement 7.50 a bag. 20 bags: 150. - Block 1.20. 50 blocks: 60. - Total B: 210. The total is the same. A is cheaper on blocks and more expensive on cement. Choose by which one matters more to arrive right, not by the total. I did not add freight. If there is freight, add it yourself before you decide.
In three steps
- Multiply each price by the quantity asked.
- Add cement and blocks per supplier.
- Look at the total and, if they tie, say which piece each one wins on.
A tip Two equal totals are not the same quote. Look at the piece.
