Typical retail ranges, not quotes. What you are charged depends on the pharmacy and on how the claim is processed — which is exactly why it is worth asking.

Worth asking
How should I taper this, if at all?
Before you change anything. Follow the taper exactly. Stopping a longer course abruptly can be dangerous.
