Calculating totals within loops

Someone please help:
This is the Q: (having trouble with finding total

A well-regarded manufacturer of widgets has been losing 4% of its sales each year.
The company’s annual profit is 10% of sales. This year, the company has had $10 million in
sales and a profit of $1 million. Determine the expected sales and profit for the next 10 years.
Your program should produce a display in the following form:

This program will calculate expected sales and a projected profit for 10 years of a company:

Year Expected Sales Projected Profit
---- -------------- ----------------
1 $10000000.00 $1000000.00
2 $ 9600000.00 $ 960000.00
3 $ 9216000.00 $ 921600.00
4 $ 8847360.00 $ 884736.00
5 $ 8493465.60 $ 849346.56
6 $ 8153726.98 $ 815372.70
7 $ 7827577.90 $ 782757.79
8 $ 7514474.78 $ 751447.48
9 $ 7213895.79 $ 721389.58
10 $ 6925339.96 $ 692534.00
--------------------------------------------
Total: $ 73791841.00 $ 0.00

I have achieved the above, except for the part where it asks for the Total for sales and profit.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "\nThis program will calculate expected sales and a projected profit for 10 years of a company:\n\n";

	int count = 1, year = 10;
	double sales = 10000000, profit = 1000000, expsales, saleTotal = 0, profitTotal = 0;

	cout << "Year      Expected Sales    Projected Profit \n";
	cout << "----      --------------    ---------------- \n";

	cout << setiosflags(ios::fixed)<<setprecision(2);

	cout << count << setw(10) << "$" << sales << setw(10) << "$" << profit << endl;

	for (count = 2; count <= year; count++)
	{
		expsales = 0.96*sales;
		profit = 0.1*expsales;

		sales = expsales;
		
		saleTotal += expsales;
		
		profitTotal = 0;

		if (count == year)
			cout << count << setw(10) << "$ " << expsales << setw(11) << "$ " << profit << endl;
		else
			cout << count << setw(11) << "$ " << expsales << setw(11) << "$ " << profit << endl;
	}

	cout << "--------------------------------------------\n";
	cout << "Total:" << setw(6) << "$ " << saleTotal << setw(10) << "$ " << profitTotal << endl;

	return 0;
}


All help is much appreciated!

*note: table might have lost its format.

I am not 100% sure but try to change profitTotal = 0 right below saleTotal += expsales; to profitTotal += profit;

I did that, however I was wondering if there was any way of adding the initial 10,000,000 to the final total. Also, i was off by 0.01 So frustrating.
hmm I would just edit cout << "Total:" << setw(6) << "$ " << saleTotal << setw(10) << "$ " << profitTotal + 10000000 << endl;
if that is what you mean, then again I am not 100% sure since I am still learning to code atm. Hope this helps
Oh, that's exactly what I did. Thanks anyway!
