you multiply by persantage/100.

if you add persantage then first you find what the persantage is (though multiplying) then you add.

so canadian tax is:
code:

total := subtotal + subtotal*15/100


or you can just use 0.15 which is same as 15/100

use a boolean(true/false variable) per specific item to determine what has been selected and what hasn't.

How would i go about doing this? like would i put "get (var)" and have them enter in the numbers and when the number was entered it would be like a true statement.

Do you know a little of the code just an example so i can see how it is done just wondering i think i know what you mean.

code:
var choice:boolean:=false %declare the var as false... make it true later on in your
%program, if something happens that makes it true
%your code here
if choice = false then
%do whatever
else
%do whatever if its true
end if
