function calculate_total ($tax= 5) {

$taxrate = $tax / 100;
$total = ($_POST['quantity'] * $_POST['price']) * ($taxrate + 1);
$total = number_format ($total, 2);
}
if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
if (is_numeric($_POST['quantity']) && is_numeric($_POST['price'])) {
echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Total Cost</h1>';
$total = NULL;
if (is_numeric($_POST['tax'])) {
calculate_total ($_POST['tax']);
