I reckon, you are looking for something like this:

C++

struct customer
{
    char name[30];
    int noOfCustomer;
    int total_pay;
};

void Foo()
{
    struct customer cust;
    scanf("%s", cust.name);
    scanf("%d", &cust.noOfCustomer);
    scanf("%d", &cust.total_pay);
}

These are very basic questions though. So you'll save a lot of time if you just get an introductory C text book.

Yeah, and a good book will really help a lot. That said, feel free to ask questions here. It's good to see someone trying stuff out on their own.

I believe they're asking you to pull in a number of arguments at once. <--Not sure if I interpreted this correctly

Use scanf()(or one of its derivatives) to pull in several arguments at once:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanf[^]

The name portion of the question, well, that'll limit your input name buffer to 30 characters, so as long as input doesn't exceed that. A more bulletproof method would be to use a char * and dynamically allocate the memory, but that may be a bit too advanced at this stage.
