    Little help with this please...

    Ok, this is for a class. We were required to write a program to calculate mileage reimbursement for a salesperson at a rate of $0.45 per mile. The program has to take the starting and ending mileage as inputs and then display distance traveled and total reimbursement. I have writen this and it compiles fine, but when I run it it quits out half way through. Bare with me, I'm pretty new at this so I might have made some stupid mistake, but can anyone help me out and maybe show me what I have wrong?



    Code:
    #include "stdafx.h"
    
    int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
    {
    	float miles, odometer1, odometer2, reimbursement, rate;
    	printf("MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT CALCULATOR.\n");
    	printf("Enter the beginning odometer reading:>");
    	scanf("%f", &odometer1);
    	printf("\nEnter the ending odometer reading:>");
    	scanf("%f", &odometer2);
    	miles = odometer2 - odometer1;
    	printf("\nSalesperson traveled %6.2f", miles);
    	rate = 0.45;
    	reimbursement = miles * rate;
    	printf("\nTotal owed reimbursement is %6.2f", reimbursement);
    
    	getchar();
    	return 0;
    }
