I NEED HELP!! C++ PROBLEM

You found an exciting summer job for five weeks. It pays, say, $15.50 per hour. Suppose that the total tax you pay on your summer job income is 14%. After paying the taxes you spend 10 % of your net income to buy new clothes and other accessories for the next school year and 1% to buy school supplies. After buying clothes and school supplies, you use 25% of the remaining money to buy savings bonds. For each dollar you spend to buy savings bonds, your parents spend $0.50 to buy additional savings bonds for you. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the pay rate for an hour and the number of hours you worked each week. The program then outputs the following:
a. Your income before and after taxes from your summer job.
b. The money you spend on clothes and other accessories.
c. The money you spend on school supplies.
d. The money you spend to buy savings bonds.
e. The money your parents spend to buy additional savings bonds for you.
Sorry, we don't do homeworks for other people. If you're willing to put an effort, however, we'll also put our share in helping with specific questions regarding pieces of code that you wrote or are trying to write.

Hello Webjose ,

Share ur effort in this http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/general/50337/
HEY THIS IS MY INPUT BUT IT'S SAYING I HAVE A FEW ERRORS!! ANY SUGGESTIONS????



#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

int main () {

double wages ;
double rate ;
double hours;
double taxes;
double clothesexp;
double twagesatax;
double schsupply;
double sbonds;


cout <<("Enter hours worked:");
hours = console.nextDouble();
cin >>();

cout <<("Enter pay rate:");
rate = console.nextDouble();
cin >>();


wages = hours * rate;

cout <<("The wages are :" + wages);

cout <<(" Total wages before taxes:" + wages );

taxes = 14% * wages;
cout <<(" Total wages after taxes:" + twagesatax );


clothesexp = 10% * twagesatax;
cout <<("Total money spend on clothes and other accessories :" + clothesexp );

schsupply = 1% * (twagesatax + clothesexp);
cout <<("Total money spend on school supplies :" + schsupply );

sbonds = 25% * (twagesatax + clothesexp + schsupply);
cout <<("Total money spend on saving bonds :" + sbonds );

return 0;

}

I WOULD SUGGEST FIXING THE ERRORS!!!!!!!!

hours = console.nextDouble();
cin >>();

THOSE ARE VERY FUNNY LINES, WHERE DID YOU LEARN STRANGE STUFF LIKE THAT??????!!

C++ WON'T RECOGNIZE NUMBERS LIKE 14% EITHER, YOU'LL HAVE TO WRITE 0.14 INSTEAD!!!!

Edit: and while it's more of a style issue, you should declare variables when you need them for the first time instead of declaring a whole bunch of them at the beginning of a block.

I assume the first line comes from previous experience in Java, as to the second, I'd like to know as well.
@Athar: LOL! Just priceless. :-)

@ OP: A word of etiquette: It is considered rude to write in all uppercase because it is the written equivalent of shouting. Also note that you should copy and paste here any error messages that your compiler throws at you for better troubleshooting. And finally, please use code tags:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::wcout << L"Hello C++ World!! << std::endl;
}
//See how nice code looks like here, inside the code tags?  Numbered and all!
