{
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);

double p1, p2, p3, Total, VAT, T_VAT_incl, Amt_tend, Change;

System.output.println("Enter price of item 1");

p1= input.nextdouble();

System.output.println("Enter price of item 2");

p2= input.nextdouble();

System.output.println("Enter price of item 3");

p3= input.nextdouble();

Total = p1 + p2 + p3;

VAT = 14/100 * Total;

T_VAT_incl = Total + VAT;

Sytem.output.println("Enter cash amount tendered");

Amt_tend = input.nextdouble();

Change = Amt_tend - T_VAT_incl;

The error is telling you exactly what's wrong and it's not very cryptic. You have:

System.output.println(...)

and it's telling you that it doesn't know what "output" is, and neither do I. If you check your notes, the online tutorials and/or the Java API for the System class, you'll see that System.out is what is used most commonly here.

The key to this problem though is to try to get meaning from the error messages, for often they'll tell you exactly what the problem is.

There's absolutely nothing silly about this. Since you weren't born with this knowledge, none of us were, you have to learn it, pure and simple. Luckily it can be a fun process. Oh, and welcome to the forum!
