Help!

I have to do some crap assignment about doing a grocery type class. The guy gave us on how the example should look like at the end, it goes like this. He gave us 8 food items and we are suppose to implement a greocery store checkout system. he gave us eight items like popcorn, paper towels, cat chow, aspirin, bread, oreos, milk, and soap. The end result is that you could say i want 6 popcorn packages, the end result would be how much it is and such and tax, i have no clue where to start, any suggestions?
