Beginner sales tax calculator
Feb 5, 2016 at 6:11pm UTC
I'm not sure how to make a code where I could calculate sales tax and keeping the total showing 2 decimal places. This is how far I got, but for some reason my total keeps displaying 0.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
double salesPrice;
double total=salesPrice*0.0875;
cout<<"Enter Sales Price:\n" ;
cin>>salesPrice;
cout<<"Total: $" <<total<<endl;
}

double total=salesPrice*0.0875;
You're doing the calculation before the user enters the sale price, that's not what you want is it?
