Write a program that will ask the user to enter the amount of a purchase. The

program should then compute the state and county sales tax. Assume the state
sales tax is 4 percent and the county sales tax is 2 percent. The program should
display the amount of the purchase, the state sales tax, the county sales tax, the
total sales tax, and the total of the sale (which is the sum of the amount of
purchase plus the total sales tax). Hint: Use the value 0.02 to represent 2 percent,
and 0.04 to represent 4 percent.

In pseudocode yes?

To write a program that calculates the state and county sales tax based on user input, you can follow these steps:

1. Prompt the user to enter the amount of the purchase.
2. Read and store the user's input as a floating-point number.
3. Calculate the state sales tax by multiplying the purchase amount by 0.04 (for a 4% tax rate).
4. Calculate the county sales tax by multiplying the purchase amount by 0.02 (for a 2% tax rate).
5. Calculate the total sales tax by summing the state and county sales tax.
6. Calculate the total sale amount by adding the purchase amount to the total sales tax.
7. Display the amount of the purchase, the state sales tax, the county sales tax, the total sales tax, and the total sale amount.

Here's an example of how you can implement this program in Python:

```python
# Step 1: Prompt the user to enter the amount of the purchase
purchase_amount = float(input("Enter the amount of the purchase: "))

# Step 3: Calculate the state sales tax
state_sales_tax = purchase_amount * 0.04

# Step 4: Calculate the county sales tax
county_sales_tax = purchase_amount * 0.02

# Step 5: Calculate the total sales tax
total_sales_tax = state_sales_tax + county_sales_tax

# Step 6: Calculate the total sale amount
total_sale_amount = purchase_amount + total_sales_tax

# Step 7: Display the results
print("Amount of the purchase:", purchase_amount)
print("State sales tax:", state_sales_tax)
print("County sales tax:", county_sales_tax)
print("Total sales tax:", total_sales_tax)
print("Total sale amount:", total_sale_amount)
```

By following these steps, you will create a program that prompts the user for a purchase amount and calculates the corresponding state and county sales taxes, as well as the total sales tax and total sale amount.
