Ok, am new in this and have an assignment. I've read all I had to read and have been searching through the net and still don't have an answer, it may be simpler than I think.... How can I calculate tax? The idea is I'm creating a program that will calculate tax to an item. So far we've seen the basic arithmetic operands and I'm not sure if I just write 6% of item cost...

If anyone can guide me I'd really appreciate it.
Than...
