  1. POMy values keep adding up, instead of resetting in my loop statement
    text
    copied!<p>I'm not sure whether one of my formulas are wrong, I placed something in the wrong area, or I'm missing something completely. But when I run the prog. It would add up the prices of meals from a previous table of customers, instead of resetting for each new table. Any help?</p> <pre><code>int main () { //These are the variables used for the formulas and inputs. int people, counter; float price, subtotal, tip, tax, total; cout&lt;&lt;"How many people are at the table?" &lt;&lt;endl; cin&gt;&gt;people; //Use a while statement to start a loop while (people!=0) { //Use a for statement inside the while to make a nested loop. It will ask the price of each meal. for(counter=1; counter&lt;=people; counter++) { cout&lt;&lt;"How much is the meal?: " &lt;&lt;endl; cin&gt;&gt;price; subtotal+=price; tax=subtotal*.06; if (people&lt;5) { tip=subtotal*.18; } else tip=subtotal*.20; total=tax+subtotal+tip; } //This is the final output for the program. Which will be the bill. cout&lt;&lt;setprecision(2) &lt;&lt;fixed; cout&lt;&lt;left; cout&lt;&lt;setw(20)&lt;&lt;"Subtotal: " &lt;&lt;"$" &lt;&lt;subtotal &lt;&lt;endl; cout&lt;&lt;setw(20)&lt;&lt;"Sales Tax: " &lt;&lt;"$" &lt;&lt;tax &lt;&lt;endl; cout&lt;&lt;setw(20)&lt;&lt;"Tip: " &lt;&lt;"$" &lt;&lt;tip &lt;&lt;endl; cout&lt;&lt;setw(20)&lt;&lt;"Total: " &lt;&lt;"$" &lt;&lt;total &lt;&lt;endl; cout&lt;&lt;" " &lt;&lt;endl; cout&lt;&lt;setw(20)&lt;&lt;"How many people are at the table?" &lt;&lt;endl; cin&gt;&gt;people; } </code></pre>
