Algorithm:

1. Declare variables "cost","state_tax" and "federal_tax".

2. Initialize these variables.

3. Create a variable "cust_money".

3.1 Ask user to give money.

3.2 Assign this to "cust_money".

4. Calculate total_tax=state_tax+federal_tax

4.1 Calculate total_to_be_paid=cost (1+total_tax)

5. Calculate change_to_give = cust_money-total_to_be_paid

6. Print the change_to_give

7. End the program.

Explanation:

Declare variables and initialize "cost" with initial cost of item, "state_tax" with state tax and "federal_tax" with federal tax on the item. Ask user to give money and assign it to "cust_money". calculate the total tax=state+federal tax. Then calculate the total to be paid for item as cost * (1+total tax). Subtract the total paid from customer money and print the change to give user.
