#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   double item1, item2, item3, item4, item5, subtotal, tax, total;

   

   cin >> item1;
   cout << "Enter the price of item 2: ";
   cin >> item2;
   cout << "Enter the sales for item 3: ";
   cin >> item3;
   cout << "Enter the price of item 4: ";
   cin >> item4;
   cout << "Enter the price of item 5: ";
   cin >> item5;
   
   
   subtotal = item1 + item2 + item3 + item4 + item5;
   tax = .06 * (item1 + item2 + item3 + item4 + item5)
   total = tax + subtotal;
   
 
   cout << "\Subtotal\n";
   cout << "-------------\n";
   cout << setprecision(2) << fixed;
   cout << "Item 1: " << setw(8) << item1 << endl;
   cout << "Item 2: " << setw(8) << item2 << endl;
   cout << "Item 3: " << setw(8) << item3 << endl;
   cout << "Item 4: " << setw(8) << item4 << endl;
   cout << "Item 5: " << setw(8) << item5 << endl;
   cout << "Subtotal: " << setw(8) << subtotal << endl;
   cout << "Tax: " << setw(8) << tax << endl;
   cout << "Total: " << setw(8) << total << endl;



system("PAUSE");
   return 0;
} 


Anyone know how to fix?
simply replace
 
   tax = .06 * (item1 + item2 + item3 + item4 + item5)

with
 
   tax = .06 * (item1 + item2 + item3 + item4 + item5);

you forgot a semi-colon ^.^.
I do not see here a semicolon

tax = .06 * (item1 + item2 + item3 + item4 + item5)
