how to do this program?

Your first shot isn't using the phrase "amount tendered" properly.  That is the $30 your original post said you give the clerk.  You'd get change (or owe more) based on the gallons purchased multipied by the price minus the discount.  Your discount is only applied to the first fifteen gallons, so you need to figure if the purchase is for more or less and subtract accordingly.

Besides the basic arithmetic, you need a comparison to see if the purchase was 15 gallons or less. Based on the true/false result, you could use a case statement.

thats what i was thinking of using, is a True False case statement.  Though i honestly dont know how to do the True False case structure.

Also what would be the two cases and how would i conect them in order to show the discount amount and the final price indicators.

Here's a hint on how to calculate the discount without a Case structure.  Make sure you understand how it works.

This seemed slightly harsh when I first read it, but you're not showing much to endear yourself to the collective.  Here are a few resources you should use:

I expect that you recognize the "less than or equal to" symbol, the one next to it is "Select".  They're both on the Comparison pallet.  The multiply is on the Numeric pallet.

 

How have the tutorials helped?

I figured out where the symbols are and such. 

 

Now i just need to figure out where to place the price per gallon.

 

Below is what ive got so far.  I placed the amount tendered to subtract from the final price to get he discount price.
