Yazu, sorry for line numbers, as far as code tags, I thought it was code tagged. This is my very first post, ever here for coding questions.

Im not an expert or even a novice, I'm a new beginner who didn't even want to take this class in the first place. So sorry If I make mistakes.

But anyway, what happens when I just use a 3 or a 6 is that when I type in lets say 2 for the first price and 2 for the second price when the calculation comes back it tells me the tax is $24 and my grand total is $28 dollars.
With the decimal's in place its .24 and the total 4.24

I know Frank, I don't know either, the program is fine, I have no clue on why this teacher wants us to use whole numbers in place of .03 for the tax. Like I mentioned I'm most likely going to just hand it in as is. I was just curious if you could do it as whole numbers.

Thank you kindly for your reply's. I'll find the thank button and click it. Because I am grateful.
