    Question First Practice Program need help...C++

    Need help with simple code for calculating interest...not compound....yet. Can not figure out what code is needed to change the -double percent- to a -decimal-.

    Giving me the error:

    ------ Build started: Project: Practice_Work, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
    Practice_Work.cpp
    Practice_Work.cpp(24): error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'Systemecimal' to 'double'
    No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called
    ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========


    Here is the Code i have written so far:

    Code:
    // Practice_Work.cpp : main project file.
    // calculating intrest over one fixed period
    
    #using <mscorlib.dll>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace System;
    using namespace std;
    
    
    int main()
    {
    
    //declaring variables
    
    double number= 0.0;
    double percent= 0.0;
    double difference= 0.0;
    double sum= 0.0;
    
    //Algorithms: assigning integers to variables
    
    Console::WriteLine("Enter Amount: ");
    number= Convert::ToDouble(Console::ReadLine());
    Console::WriteLine("Enter Intrest Rate: ");
    percent= Convert::ToDouble(Console::ReadLine());
    percent= Convert::ToDecimal(percent);
    
    
    //Calculations for solving the algorithm
    
    difference= number*percent;
    sum= number + difference;
    
    //Printing out the results
    
    Console::WriteLine("Total amount after interest equals: ",Convert::ToString(sum));
    
    
    cin.get();
    
    return  0;
    
    }
