#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { //declared variables double Purchase = 0.0; double StateTax = 0.0; double CountyTax = 0.0; double TotalCost = 0.0; //input section cin>>Purchase>>StateTax >>CountyTax; //e.g 52.0>>0.07>>0.02 //processing section TotalCost = CountyTax * Purchase * StateTax; //output section cout << "Total Sales Tax is " << TotalCost << endl; } // You did cout first before doing any processing // This is the correct solution

would 0.0728 be the answer? I am trying to look for the total cost: 52 is cost and 0.07 and 0.02 are the tax

I think you should add Purchase, CountyTax and StateTax instead of multiplying.
