Write out an algorithm where you know the cost of an item, the state tax rate on it; the federal tax rate on it; and the money a customer gives you. write out steps and formulas it takes to solve you will calculate and output to the customer the change you will to give them.

Algorithm:

1. Declare variables "cost","state_tax" and "federal_tax".

2.Initialize these variables.

3.Create a variable "cust_money".

   3.1 Ask user to give money.

   3.2 Assign this to "cust_money".

4. Calculate total_tax=state_tax+federal_tax

   4.1 Calculate total_to_be_paid=cost(1+total_tax)

5. Calculate change_to_give= cust_money-total_to_be_paid

6.Print the change_to_give

7. End the program.

Explanation:

Declare variables and initialize "cost"  with initial cost of item, "state_tax" with  state tax and "federal_tax"  with federal tax on the item. Ask user to give money and assign it  to "cust_money". calculate the total tax=state+federal tax. Then calculate the total to be paid for item as cost*(1+total tax). Subtract the total paid from customer money and print the change to give user.
