i dont understand why this doesn't work

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
// your account's balance
auto balance = 2452.4;
// price for each notebook
auto price = 259.99;
auto notebooks = balance / price;
auto rimasto = balance - (macbooks * price);
cout << notebooks;
cout << rimasto;
// Task: calculate the number of notebooks you can afford and output it.
// Hint: use an integer to store the result.
// Task: calculate the amount left over on your account after the purchase and output it on a new line.
// Hint: calculate the total price of the purchase, then substract it from the balance.
}

Answer 1

… have you changed the line suggested?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
auto balance = 2452.4;
auto price = 259.99;
auto notebooks = balance / price;
auto rimasto = balance - (notebooks * price);
cout << notebooks;
cout << rimasto;
}
This is your code (comments removed). Where you had macbooks, changed to notebooks works fine for me. Outputs 9.432670

Answer 3

You haven’t declared or initialized the variable ‘macbooks’…
You cannot multiply an unknown 👍
