    Show us what you've done so far, so that we can guide you.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    You need a variable with a cost in it.
    You need to multiply that by 0.06 and then add to said variable.
    Questions?
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main ( void )
    {
    	Setup a variable for price of purchase
    	Setup a variable for purchase total
    
    	Ask for input; the price of the purchase, and store it in the variable
    	Multiply the purchase variable * .06, and store the answer in the variable total
    	Print the variable total
    
    	return 0;
    }
    The world is waiting. I must leave you now.
