I need to write a prohram that prompts user for his income and display the result on the screen.

The first part asks for his income. There is a \t before the phrase "Your monthly income and a single space after ':'. So you have " Your monthly income is: " The user needs to provide his or her income as a float. The next part is to display the result to the screen. So you have something like "Your income is: $ 1010.99" //Output should look like this... Your monthly income: 1010.99 Your income is: $ 1010.99. There needs to be one space between the colon and the dollar sign. The money is right alligned to 9 spaces from the dollar sign. Can anyone help with this, please????

Unlike the output of your code, it displays: Your monthly income: Your monthly income is: $ 0

Also, you know I could also choose to use setw() instead of .width.....
