My program seems to be ignoring my cents after the decimal point for total_charge. It adds the dollar amounts, but ignores or does not see the cents. Can anyone give me suggestions as to what I need to look at? I'm brand new at coding, thus the reason for all these questions. thanks!

    else if (x > 3)

What you are doing here is trying to convert a double to an int. That's probably why you are loosing everything behind the decimal point (int's do not support decimal points).
Just declare everything as 'double' and voila!

1 other thing:

int count;
int total_hours;
int total_charge;

You declare these variables twice, once local and once global. Using global vars is never really a good idea, so you can just remove them, your program will run without them. (the globals are just above int main())

Ah, that makes sense, I guess I'll learn as I play around with it more. Thanks for your help, it's working now using double.
