Javascript Tax Calculator

Question

I'm trying to create a program that sums the three values of the array var prices = [12.3, 20, 30.33]; together, and outputs both the sum and the total bill with tax of 7%.

Here is my HTML:

<p>Sum of numbers in array: <span id="sum"></span></p>

<p>Amount with 7% tax added: <span id="percent"></span></p>

<button onclick="myFunction()">Click Me</button>

JS:

var numbers = [12.3, 20, 30.33];
var taxAmount = .07;

function getSum(total, num) {
    return total + num;
}
function myFunction(item) {
    document.getElementById("sum").innerHTML = numbers.reduce(getSum);
}

function multiply(item) {
    document.getElementById("percent").innerHTML = numbers.reduce(getSum) * .07;
}

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

you were not calling the function

 var numbers = [12.3, 20, 30.33]; var taxAmount = .07; function getSum(total, num) { return total + num; } function myFunction(item) { document.getElementById("sum").innerHTML = numbers.reduce(getSum); document.getElementById("percent").innerHTML = numbers.reduce(getSum) * .07; } 

 <p>Sum of numbers in array: <span id="sum"></span></p> <p>Amount with 7% tax added: <span id="percent"></span></p> <button onclick="myFunction()">Click Me</button> 

Answer 2

You don't called the funtion and you need to sum the actual value with the tax of 7%.

numbers.reduce(getSum) + numbers.reduce(getSum) * .07

 var numbers = [12.3, 20, 30.33]; var taxAmount = .07; function getSum(total, num) { return total + num; } function myFunction(item) { document.getElementById("sum").innerHTML = numbers.reduce(getSum); document.getElementById("percent").innerHTML = numbers.reduce(getSum) + numbers.reduce(getSum) * .07; } 

 <p>Sum of numbers in array: <span id="sum"></span></p> <p>Amount with 7% tax added: <span id="percent"></span></p> <button onclick="myFunction()">Click Me</button>
