here's a start:

print "Enter price"
read price
tax = price * 0.08

Sure! Here is a pseudocode for an application that calculates the 8 percent sales tax on an item based on user input:

```
// Declarations
DECLARE price, taxAmount, totalPrice AS FLOAT

// Input
DISPLAY "Enter the price of the item:"
ACCEPT price

// Calculation
taxAmount = price * 0.08
totalPrice = price + taxAmount

// Output
DISPLAY "The sales tax amount is:", taxAmount
DISPLAY "The total price including tax is:", totalPrice
```

This pseudocode demonstrates the basic logic of the program. The user is prompted to enter the price of an item, and then the program calculates the sales tax (8% of the price) and adds it to the original price to obtain the total price. Finally, it displays both the sales tax amount and the total price including tax.
