First Interchange calculate the shipping charges based on UPS 
(let say result in $total), then evaluate your valid mathematical
expression 
from the adder and add a result to $total.

i.e. $total += <your valid mathematical expression from the adder>

In expression you can use @@TOTAL@@ or x. They will be substituted 
by $total before the evaluation of expression.

In the described case you can try:

@@TOTAL@@ * 0.15 + 3
or
x * 0.15 + 3

I would use the last expr, but Mike wrote:
