I am new to Java and have a class assignment that I need help with..

The assignment is to write a program that computes the tax and tip for a restaurant bill. User is to enter the total amount of the bill. Tax is 6.75% of the bill. The tip is 15% of the meal after tax has been added. The meal charge, tax, tip, and total should be printed on the screen..

package javaapplication3;

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

/**
   This program demonstrates using dialogs with
   JOptionPane.
*/

public class Restaurant
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
       inputString;  //For reader's input
       int total;  // The user's total bill.
       int taxAmount; //6.75 of the user's total bill
       int totalMeal; //Bill after tax has been added
       int tip; // 15 percent of the totalMeal
       int overall; // The total including tax and tip

      // Get the user's total bill.
      inputString =
           JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is " +
                               "the total bill? ");

      //Convert the input to an int.
      total = Integer.parseInt(inputString);

       // Calculate the tax amount.
      taxAmount = 6.75/100 * total;


      // Calculate the total meal after tax has been added.
      totalMeal = taxAmount + total

      //Calculate the tip
      tip = 15/100 * totalMeal

      // Calculate the entire bill.
      overall = totalMeal + tip;
           

    
      System.out.println("The taxed amount is" + taxAmount);
      System.out.println("The tip amount is" + tipAmount);
      System.out.println("The total bill is" + overall)

      System.exit(0);
   }
}

Well, if you tell us what you're having problems with ...

You have a few easy errors, like forgetting semicolons at the end of lines, and you forgot to put the word "String" before the first instance of variable "inputString", and you use a variable name in one of the last lines that you never defined. There are some precision-loss problems too... the compiler tells you the errors you have.
