Am I going at this all wrong?

So here is what I need to do...

Write a program which accepts a total purchase price and computes any discount.
Purchase Price Discount %
< 1000 0%
1000 -2499.99 1.5%
2500 - 3999.99 2%
4000 -7499.99 2.5%
7500+ 2.75%

A sample run with user input highlighted appears below.
Enter total price? 3500.00
A discount of 2.00% saving $70.00 means you pay only $3430.00!
Press any key followed by enter to continue...

Line 32: Don;t you mean to check amount?

Lines 32-46: PRICE is an uninitialized variable.

Line 37: Check your conditional. Your second comparison is wrong.

Line 46: Under what condition would this line ever get executed? If it were to execute, you would be setting PRICE to an uninitialized variable.

Line 49: You print discount, but you never calculated it. discount is an uninitialized variable.
