We solve the amount for the first store.

Discounted amount=$72.50 - ($72.50*20%) = $58

Multiplied by 12 players and sales tax of 6.5% = ($58*12) + (($58*12) * 0.065=$741.24

For the first store, the amount is $741.24

We solve for the amount in the second store

Amount=$54.75 - ($54.75*0.09) = $49.8225

For 12 players plus shipping fee = 12*$49.8225=$597.87+599=$1,196.787

The difference between the two store is $455.547.
