new programmer, where am I going wrong in my program?

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
price, sold, profit, final;
//price of the initial investment on your ounce
cout << "How much did you pay for your ounce? ";
cin >> price;
//how many bags ($20) did you sell?
cout << "How many $20 bags did you sell?
cin >> sold;
//this section will calculate the profit from the sold bags
profit = sold * 20
//this section will subtract the amount paid for your ounce by the profit to determine your total profit
final = profit - price;

cout << "Your total net profit is $ << final <<endl;
return 0;
_getch();
}
You will need to declare your variables data type.
For example:

1
2
3
4
int price;
int sold;
int profit;
int final;


And you missed out a few things.
For example:
cout << "How many $20 bags did you sell?";

instead of
cout << "How many $20 bags did you sell?


I have edited your code, hope this helps

	cout << "Your total net profit is $ " << final << endl;
	system("pause"); //pause the system, so that you can see the output
	return 0;
	_getch();
