if statement help

[sly0981]

I am working on a program that shows a persons water bill for a month. There needs to be a minimum of $16.67 per month and I can't get that part to work. The rest of it works fine. can someone help me? Here is my code so far.

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

int main()
{
	//declare variables
	double reading1 = 0.0;
	double reading2 = 0.0;
	double gallonsUsed = 0.0;
	double totalCharge = 0.0;

	//enter meter readings
	cout << "Enter previous meter reading: ";
	cin >> reading1;
	cout << "Enter current meter reading: ";
	cin >> reading2;

	//subtract previous reading from current reading
	gallonsUsed = reading2 - reading1;
	cout << "gallonsUsed = " << gallonsUsed << endl;
	cout << fixed << setprecision(2) << endl;

	totalCharge = gallonsUsed / 1000 * 7;
	cout << "totalCharge = " << totalCharge << endl;

	//calculate the total charge
	if (gallonsUsed < 1000)
	{
		totalCharge = 16.67;
		cout << "totalCharge = " << totalCharge << endl;
	}
	else 
	{
		totalCharge = gallonsUsed / 1000 * 7;
	}

	system("pause");
	return 0;
} //end of mani()

You've two things going on here.

One is the calculation of total charge on line 24.

then you do the same thing again on line 35.

I would delete lines 24 and 25.

Line 25 should be moved under line 35 so you can see the result of the calculation. Agree on deleting line 24.
