#Do I want to put item_total in display_results() like (display_results(item_total)) or am I way off?

Oh also I do need the three functions it was specified in the assignment.

I can get it to work fine in one function so the value passing is what I think Im having problems with. Can anyone help me with this?

since you will always be printing the results I put it in the end of main().

What do you mean by three functions?
something like
main() compute() and show results() ?

if so then this might do the trick.

Yeah I actually worked on it a bit more and got it.

Thanks for the help though I really do appreciate it.
