Can anyone help me with my arrays please?

I must use functions and arrays and I am having issues and cant get my code to run. I have even put it through codepad and I am not really understanding what I am doing wrong. Here is waht codepad has to say:
In function 'int main()':
Line 53: error: invalid types 'int[int]' for array subscript
compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.

The program I'm writting lettes the user enter 5 names and their votes. Its suppose to give the total votes the names entered and the percentage of votes each person had. Here is my code so far. As always I will use your screen name to give credit for helping me. Thank you in advance.

check your votePercentage its not an array...
Thank you I corrected it and I'm still having issues. I can now run it and enter the names and number of votes but it crashes after that. I will work on it some more before I ask for more help.
Ok Im having issues with my persentages and Ive been working on them and I'm messing up somewhere. here is my updated code.
