1 #include <iostream>

3
4
5 using namespace std;
6
7 int main()
8 {
9 float const commission percent = .02;
10
11 float shares bought = 750,
12 share price = 35.00,
13 total paid = shares bought * share price;
14
15 float total commision = total paid * commission percent,
16 amount paid = total commission + total paid;
17
18
19 cout << "Total amount paid without commission: $";
20 float amount paid = total commission + total paid;

You are leaving a space in some of your variables.

Example:
commission percent could/should commission_percent or similar. The main thing is no spaces in the variables.

Take a look at the other variables with that problem.

Variable names in C++ can range from 1 to 255 characters.

All variable names must begin with a letter of the alphabet or an underscore(_).

After the first initial letter, variable names can also contain letters and numbers.

Variable names are case sensitive.

No spaces or special characters are allowed.

You cannot use a C++ keyword (a reserved word) as a variable name.
