#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){

//variable for the unit weight of a bag of coffee in pounds
float unitWeight;
//variable for the number of bags sold
int numberBagsSold=0;
float salesTax;
//promt user to enter the unit weight of a bag of coffee in pounds
cout<<"Enter the unit weight of a bag of coffee in pounds: ";
cin>>unitWeight;
//promt user to enter the number of bags sold
cout<<"Enter the the number of bags sold: ";
cin>>numberBagsSold;
//the unit price of a bag of coffee is value as $5.99 per pound and tax rate of 7.25 percent.

//display the number of bags sold,
cout<<"\nThe number of bags sold: "<<numberBagsSold<<"\n";
//display the weight per bag
cout<<"The weight per bag "<<unitWeight<<"\n";
//display price per pound
cout<<"Price per pound: $5.99\n";
//display sales tax
float subTotal=numberBagsSold*unitWeight*5.99;
salesTax=0.0725*subTotal;
float totalPrice=subTotal+salesTax;
cout<<"Sales tax: $"<<salesTax<<"\n";
//display total price of the sale.
