Why is this incorrect?

I thought I finally was understanding this C++ wizardry, but I guess not!
I am getting multiple error messages "expected unqualified id before else" and "charge" or "cout does not name a type. Here is my code thus far.

	if (numOfRegistrants <= 3){

	}

You have an empty if statement, followed by unrelated code, and then you have an extra } followed by two lone "else if"s.

Delete line 31.

as Ganado says you have the curly braces in wrong places

but also you have misspelled some of your variables

you have a lower case o instead of O in numOfRegistrants in one of the if statements and also

chargePercompany should have a capital c like you declared it chargePerCompany

	//display the data

	return 0;
}


now it should compile fine
