Please help if you can!

First, sorry for starting a new post - I didn't want anyone to have to read through the whole first one when the questions were completely different :/

Second, I honestly have no idea how to answer your questions.  I am a sophomore in high school and I am trying to learn this on my own because my teacher is not very good at explaining things.  

i just cant figure out how to get the total when an order is placed without the customer ordering at least one of each item.  I also can't figure out how to get the shipping to calculate correctly. It is an intro class and we are using just the basics. Most of what Mitya said is stuff I've never seen before, although I am very grateful for her response, I am supposed to use only what the teacher "taught".

Sorry if I frustrated you.  I'm just a kid trying to learn. Any help is appreciated
