Performing calculations on input box

I have a problem that needs some suggestions from you folks. Example:

selling_price = updated cost + postage + profit + paypal + FVF;

paypal = selling_price * 0.022 + 0.3;

How can I solve/calculate a value that the answer is basing on the answer of the other value? In this case, the selling_price value is needing the paypal value to generate the output and also the paypal value is needing the selling_price value to generate the output.

I found out that this one is data dependency problem. Please help me analyze this one. Any help will be much more appreciated.

I think it should be more like this

total = updated_cost + postage + profit + FVF

paypal = total * 0.022 + 0.3

selling_price = total + paypal

Otherwise it would be an impossible to solve "circular logic"
