Sales+Tax+Project

Project Directions:
 * 1) Use the internet to find either the suggested retail price, or fair market price of **one** item of your choice.
 * 2) Calculate the total cost of the item, including sales tax as if purchasing the item from two different zip codes or states.


 * Tax Rates may be found using the following tools: **
 * http://www.zip2tax.com/z2t_lookup.asp
 * https://thestc.com/RateC.stm
 * http://www.wolframalpha.com/ --Will need to search in two steps. 1. Find the Zip Code, 2. Search sales tax by zip code.

3. Discussion Pages: Compare and contrast different sales tax rates from different places. Give one reason you picked each item.
