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 2

I had the same answer with different variables as DavX but it still failed on me. I had to do it the exact way the "See Solution" had it or it didn't work. What I was entering was:

int main() {
auto balance = 2452.4;
auto price = 259.99

auto afford = balance /price;
auto left = balance - (afford *price);

cout << afford << endl;
cout << left;
}

What gave me the green light for good code was:

int main() {

auto balance = 2452.4;
auto price = 259.99;

int total = balance / price;
cout << total << endl;
cout << balance - (total *price);
}

Answer 3

You haven’t declared or initialized the variable ‘macbooks’…

You cannot multiply an unknown 👍

Answer 4

thanks

Answer 5

add endline in notebooks output

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
// your account's balance
auto balance = 2452.4;
// price for each notebook
auto price = 259.99;
int notebooks = balance/price;
auto price2= balance-(notebooks*price);
cout << notebooks<<endl;
cout << price2;

}

Answer 6

it still doesn't work, i checked the comments and it seems that im not the only one with this problem

Answer 7

Try to end this code with return 0;

Answer 8

The task says you should output the last one on a new line... use <<endl;

Answer 9

thnx justin cross.
i've tried is some many times but they want you to do the math in the print.thnx!

Answer 10

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
// your account's balance
auto balance = 2452.4;
// price for each notebook
auto price = 259.99;

// Task: calculate the number of notebooks you can afford and output it.
// Hint: use an integer to store the result.

cout << "You can afford " << int(balance / price) << " notebooks!" << endl;

// 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.

cout << "The Amount you have left over in your account is quot; << balance - ((int(balance/price)) * price) << " Dollars" << endl;

return 0;
}

//Why does this not work I have ran it through a compiler and everything works well! I tried assigning variables prior but nothing like that worked

Answer 11

// this is right answer
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {

auto balance = 2452.4;
auto price = 259.99;

int total = balance / price;
cout << total << endl;
cout << balance - (total *price);
}
// this is wrong answer 💀🙏🏼

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
// your account's balance
auto balance = 2452.4;
// price for each notebook
auto price = 259.99;
// affordable number of notebooks
int notebooks = balance / price;
// purchased amount
int purchased = price * notebooks;
// amount left in my balance after purchase
int amount = balance - purchased;
// Amount output
cout << notebooks << endl;
cout << amount;

// Task: calculate the number of notebooks you can afford and output it.
// 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.
// Hint: use an integer to store the result.

}

// no hate to this app cuz its free 💀🙏🏼 and teaching me
