Monthly tax program

[Sabensohn70]

Hi guys, I have to write a monthly charge program where you it asks for the user to enter the month year and income, and the program will calculate it product sales tax with the equation S=T/1.06. But i keep getting the error "total doesnt have a ;" and "total is used before its value is set".

so far i have

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()

{

int sales , total , year;
char month[10];

cout << "Please enter the month for this report:";
cin >> month;
cout << "Please enter the year for this report:";
cin >> year;
cout << "Please enter the total income for this month:"
cin >> total;
sales = total / 1.06;
cout << "The sales amount is "<< sales << endl;

return 0;

}


Please help
