    Compute the tax in simple maths terms... then printf the result with printf().

    Something like
    >printf ("Sale Amount: %f plus %f tax is %f\n", SaleAmount, Tax, SaleAmount+Tax);

    There's somethings you'll need to learn about formatting of the output, but I'll let you find that out for yourself

    Also, have a read of this.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    Likely a bug filled masterpiece, but perhaps it *might* help.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    
    int main(void)
    {
       const float salesTax = 0.06;
       float prices[3] = { 3.99, 2.75, 1.35 };
       float subTotal, total;
       int selection;
    	
       subTotal = 0.0;
       total = 0.0;
    	
       printf("1> wrench $3.99\n");
       printf("2> socket $2.75\n");
       printf("3> wood   $1.35\n");
       printf("\n--> ");
    	
       scanf("%d", &selection);
    	
       subTotal = prices[selection - 1];
    	
       total = (subTotal * salesTax) + subTotal;
    	
       printf("\nFor item purchased, you owe %.2f\n", total);
    	
    	
       return 0;
    }
    Of course you'd have to check it for data input that is out of range.

    In the future please use code tags when posting code. I added them for you this time. People are MUCH more likely to help you if you use them.

    Info on code tags may be found here:

    Kermi, that link you posted is broken.

    Use this one:
    http://www.cprogramming.com/cboard/s...threadid=13473
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
