I keep getting the error above. I am trying to calculate percentage, sales tax on items to make profit on items sold.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
//Declare variables
double price;
double percentage;
double taxRate;
double salesTax;
double sellingPrice;
double finalPrice;
char ch;
string str;
//Calculate Item Price
ch = '$';
str = "Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.";
//Statement: Step 1 - Step
cout << "Enter original price for item: "; //Step 1
cin >> price; //Step 2
cout << endl;
cout << "The original price of the dress is " << ch << price << endl; //Step 3
cout << "Enter the mark-up percentage: " << endl; //Step 4
cin >> percentage; //Step 5
cout << endl;
cout << "The selling price of the dress is " << ch << percentage << endl; //Step 6
sellingPrice = price + (1 * percentage);
cout << " Enter tax rate: " << endl; //Step 7
cin >> taxRate; //Step 8
cout << endl;
salesTax = sellingPrice * taxRate;
cout << "The sales tax on the dress is " << ch << salesTax << endl; //Step 9
finalPrice = sellingPrice + salesTax;
cout << "Your total today is ." << ch << finalPrice << endl; //Step 10
cout << str << endl;
return 0;
}
