    What you're doing wrong is you've not asked for help on a specific issue. You've just attached your code (not even specifying the language) and expect us to debug / write it for you.

    And guess what, no one wants to do your homework for you.

    sorry,the issue in question is when i enter a name in letter the programs closes i can only use numbers and my if statement when i enter a salary ie 25000 the commission comes up as 0%. Dont expect anyone to write it.Sorry its c++

    when i enter a name in letter the programs closes
    Change
    int name;
    to
    char name[50];

    Not sure about the if/else comparison stuff, I can't remember how float comparisons work. You could cheat and change 'sales' to int.

    Yeah i dont know why i had it set as a float in the First Place. Even if i put sales as a int, It still wont work out the Bonus?that the only thing thats getting me.

    I think the problem is with:
    if (sales >40000)
        comm = sales *.3;
    else
    {
        comm=0;
        cout<<"You do not have enough commission"<<endl;
    }
    
    because, unless sales is above 40000, it will fall into the 'else' and report not enough commission.
    Do it in reverse: check if above 40k, else if above 30k else etc etc.
    The final else will be comm = sales * 0.7;

    If you had put cout lines in each if block you would have seen the program enter the correct code only to fall in to the 'not enough commission' block.
