+/*
+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.
