Help with Exact values

Hey guys! I am working on a program for my computer science class, and we were told to make a calculator that calculates the total of a purchase at a movie theater. So..my problem is...for some reason it calculates the total but it does not show the decimal point.

so in my program if I were to just put 1 in the amount of adult tickets purchased and 0 for childticket, then it should show a total of 10.50, but it only shows 10 and not the 50 cents!
Any help for a freshman computer science major would be great!

Thanks for the help Moschops! Didn't notice to double my integers

int adultticket , adultprice, childticket, childprice;

I see you have chosen to use int variables. These are integers. Whole numbers. There is no decimal point.

Edit: For the forum archaeologists, here's the original post:

        double totalprice;
	int adultticket , adultprice, childticket, childprice;
int main()
{
	/*int adult ticket, adultprice, child ticket, childprice,Total Price,end1;*/	

	//Get the amount of adult tickets.
	cout << "Please enter the number of adult tickets that are being purchased: ";
	cin >> adultticket;
	
adultprice = 10.50;

	//Get the amount of child tickets.
	cout << "Please enter the number of child tickets that are being purchased: ";
	cin >> childticket;

childprice = 5.00;


	//Calculate the total amount.
	totalprice = (adultticket * adultprice) + (childticket * childprice);
	
	
	//Display the force.
	cout << "The total purchase price is  " << totalprice << " dollars " << endl;
	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

so in my program if I were to just put 1 in the amount of adult tickets purchased and 0 for childticket, then it should show a total of 10.50, but it only shows 10 and not the 50 cents!
