for each of the following items, determine whether the data type should be an integer, string, or real number. a. Pet name b. Sales Tax c. Mailing Address d. Video Game Score

a. string b. real number c. string d. integer

Indicate whether each of the following is a legal variable name. if not, why? a. pay_Rate b. speed of sound c. totalcost d. 2ndPlaceName
