Answer 12

I wish i can show you a screenshot but thats how they want it to be

Answer 13

Look ill show you another example
.55 * 30 = 16.5
16.5 = 16 + .5
Tax = (.05 * 16) + .03 = .83
16.5 + .83 = 17.33

Answer 15

Under example 2

Answer 16

Hey martin my bad

Answer 17

Wym? Sanjay Kamath I already solved the problem but uh?

Answer 18

boba Using else if makes the code more efficient. Suppose that there are 10 if statements, of which a single condition is to be checked. Using 'else if' causes the compiler to skip the rest if the first one is true. Of course, that doesn't matter here.

Answer 19

Hey used missed ';' in your code
at the end of both 'cout' commands and variable name is also incorrect in cin
You have written unitcost and declared variable name is unitscost.

Answer 20

Yes because it has few syntax errors as well as variable name at 11 line is not correct it misses 's' for 'unitscost'
So maybe because of this teacher is not accepting it, let me know if I am wrong.
