Question

The code is complete, but I can't find the logic error. Can someone help me find it?

Here is the code:



#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
double cost;
double area;

double bagSize;
cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);

cout << "Enter the amount of the fertilizer, in pounds, in one bag: ";
cin >> bagSize;
cout << endl;

cout << "Enter the cost of the " << bagSize << " pound fertilizer bag: ";
cin >> cost;
cout << endl;

cout << "Enter the area, in square feet, that can be "
<< "fertilized by one bag: ";
cin >> area;
cout << endl;

cout << "The cost of the fertilizer per pound is: $"
<< bagSize/cost << endl;
cout << "The cost of fertilizer per square foot is: $"
<< area/cost << endl;

system("pause");
return 0;
}

Explanation / Answer

#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
double cost;
double area;

double bagSize;
cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);

cout << "Enter the amount of the fertilizer, in pounds, in one bag: ";
cin >> bagSize;
cout << endl;

cout << "Enter the cost of the " << bagSize << " pound fertilizer bag: ";
cin >> cost;
cout << endl;

cout << "Enter the area, in square feet, that can be "
<< "fertilized by one bag: ";
cin >> area;
cout << endl;
//here is the logical mistake in the below line since The cost of fertilizer per pound  is= cost/bagSize

cout << "The cost of the fertilizer per pound is: $"
<< cost/bagSize<< endl;
//here is the logical mistake in the below line since The cost of fertilizer per square foot is= cost/area

cout <<"the cost of fertilizer per square foot is :$"<<cost/area<<endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
