Hello, I am trying to figure out why it keeps throwing me this error. The only way it lets me get rid of it is by entering == on each equation. Then i get a huge number thats definitely not what i am looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I am MS Visual studio 2010
//Moses wants to purchase a new electronic bible so that he can follow along with the minister at church, while appearing to his peers
//to be engaged in texting. The device costs $297.00 plus sales tax and shipping. Write a C++ program that prompts the user to enter from
//the keyboard the sales tax rate percentage and the shipping cost. After converting the tax rate percentage to a decimal,
//your program should output the sales tax amount, the shipping cost, and the total cost of the electronic bible.
