1) The program prompts the user to enter the value of the sale with the following statement:
“Enter the value of the company’s sales in dollars in August 2013:”

2) The sale value should be stored in a variable of type float

3) Compute the sales tax based on 6% of the sale

4) Print the resulting sales tax in the following format:
“The sales tax is $ for August 2013 ”

My code i dont know how to do step 3:

Well, this is so simple to understand. I don't sure whether you can't build logic or can't understand how to implement it by python code.
If you say abut logic,then i should say,as per my understand you need to compute sales tax value based on 6% value of a total company sale.
So, let's say the value of a company’s sales in dollars in August 2013: 100$
So the sales tax would be 6$ as i said about 6% of the total value if there are not any other per-requisite to calculate that.
So logically you need to calculate: ((6/100)*(value of the company’s sales in dollars in August 2013)).
Hope you are clear enough to code it!

Happy Coding!

Dear Member,
You can do the calculation as follows:-

Python

value = float(input("Enter the value of the company's sales in dollars in August 2013: "))
st = value * 6 /100
print ("The sales tax is $" , st , " for August 2013 ")
