The total of 7 numbers in an array can be created as       import java util    class Sum      public static void main String arg              int a   new int 7        int total 0       Scanner n new Scanner System in        System out println  Enter the no  for total          for int i 0 i lt  6 i                   a i  n nextInt           total total a i                  System out println  The total is    total

In your for loop you need to multiply the units   price   That gives you the total for that particular item   Also in the for loop you should add that to a counter that keeps track of the grand total   Your code would look something like   float total  total    theItem getUnits     theItem getPrice      total should be scoped so it s accessible from within main unless you want to pass it around between function calls   Then you can either just print out the total or create a method that prints it out for you
