    Here is the python program:

    item_price1 = float (input ("Enter price of 1st item:"))

    item_price2 = float (input ("Enter price of 2nd item: "))

    item_price3 = float (input ("Enter price of 3rd item: "))

    item_price4 = float (input ("Enter price of 4th item: "))

    item_price5 = float (input ("Enter price of 5th item: "))

    sub_total_of_sale = (item_price1 + item_price2 + item_price3 + item_price4 + item_price5)

    amount_of_sales_tax = sub_total_of_sale * 0.0725

    total = sub_total_of_sale + amount_of_sales_tax

    print ("Sub Total of the Sale is: ", sub_total_of_sale)

    print ("The amount of sales tax is: ", amount_of_sales_tax)

    print ("Total is: ", total)

    Explanation:

    This program first prompts the user to enter price of 5 items and input () function is used here to let the user enter the price.

    Next the sub_total_of_sale variable stores the sum of all these 5 items

    amount_of_sales_tax stores the sum of sale tax which is 7.25% and sub total of 5 items. here 0.0725 means 7.25/100

    total holds the sum of sub total of price of 5 items and sales tax.

    Lastly it displays sub total of sale, amount of sales tax and total using print statement.
