19   that are taxable and properties or services that are nontaxable,
20   the portion of the price attributable to the nontaxable
21   properties or services shall be subject to tax unless the
22   provider can reasonably identify such portion from its books and
23   records kept in the regular course of business.
24         (b) If the price is attributable to properties or services
25   that are taxable at different rates, the total price shall be
