Total Purchases 4: #include <iostream> using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
//declarations double item1 = 0; double item2 = 0; double item3 = 0; double item4 = 0; double item5 = 0; double subtotal = 0; double total = 0; double tax = 0;

//Enter Items cout << "Please enter the price of item 1"; cin >> item1;

cout << "Please enter the price of item 2"; cin >> item2;

cout << "Please enter the price of item 3"; cin >> item3;

cout << "Please enter the price of item 4"; cin >> item4;

cout << "Please enter the price of item 5"; cin >> item5;

//Compute subtotal subtotal = (item1 + item2 + item3 + item4 + item5 + item6);

//Compute amount of tax

tax = subtotal * (.06);

//Compute total

total = subtotal + tax;

//Display subtotal, total, and amount of tax

cout < " The subtotal of the sale is: " << subtotal << endl; cout < " The amount of sales tax is: " << tax << endl; cout < " The total of the sale is: " << total << endl;

return 0;

}//end of function main
