Thread: Payroll code runs fine, but if I input hours > 40, the cost to employer calculation goes wrong...

--- Update ---

[/COLOR]Oh gosh, I think I fixed the first error, but now I'm receiving another error in my Net Pay print statement at the end.
Here is what I'm supposed to receive:
Net Pay: 599.86
Here is my sample run:
run-single:
Enter hourly rate in dollars and cents --> 27.16
Enter number of hours and tenths worked --> 37.9

PAYROLL REPORT
Rate: 27.16
Hours: 37.9

Gross Pay: 1029.36
Federal Tax: 257.34
State Tax: 93.41
FICA: 78.75
Net Pay: 771.86

Employer's FICA contribution: 78.75
Employer's UEI and DI contribution: 20.59
Cost to Employer: 1128.70

Enter hourly rate in dollars and cents -->
Here is my updated code:

is it because you computed it wrong?
it seems that there are no errors in your code, right?

Yeah, that's got to be a typo what the professor typed lol... it's weird because it's based on our first project.. and I got everything all of the specs right, and the output that the professor wanted too... oh well, not worrying about it anymore =\
