The Acme Software Company sells its "Adding Tutor" software for $109.Quantity discount are given using the following table:
Quantity Discount
10-19 20%
20-49 30%
50-99 40%
100 or more 50%
Write a program that asks for the number of units sold and calculates the total cost of the purchase including discount. Adjust the totalby the sales tax (use 7.75%). Display the total cost, the discount, the sales tax and adjusted amount due. Display a warning and end the program if the number of units sold isnot greater than 0

In all cases remove quotes around bolded section

cout <<"\n" << setw(20) << "Adjust Amount $" << [b]"AdjustAmount"[/b] << endl;

Declare DiscountRate in your application and set its value inside each conditional

cout <<"\n" << setw(20) << "Discount rate " << DiscountRate << endl;

As you've gotten it 95% right, I will post a modified version of this app that you can use as a reference. Don't use it as your assignment or your instructor may get you to explain why you did it that way.

Can you help me make it look right. Because When I did it. It not show the calculation at all. So I think that's not right so we have to use switch or something. Thanks for you help. It due today. It hard when it run.

Ok as promised here is my modification based on your algorithym

# include <iostream>
# include <iomanip>
# include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int Quantity, Disc;
double Cost, Discount, SalesTax;
cout.setf(ios::fixed);
cout.setf(ios::showpoint);
cout.precision(2);
cout << "\n\nThe Acme Software Company\nby Kristen Ngoc, Nguyen"; //PROGRAM AUTHOR
do
{
cout << "\n\nPlease enter the units you want to purchase: "; //INPUT DATA FOR UNITS
cin >> Quantity;
if (Quantity == 0)
	break;
Cost = 109.0 * Quantity;
if (Quantity < 10)
	Disc = 0;
else
	if (Quantity < 20)
	 Disc = 20;
	else
	 if (Quantity < 50)
	 Disc = 30;
	 else
	 if (Quantity < 100)
	 Disc = 40;
	 else
	 Disc = 50;
 
cout << fixed << showpoint << setw (20);
cout <<"\nSales Results\n";
cout <<"- - - - - - - - - - \n";
cout << setw(20) << "Cost" << setw(25) << Cost << endl; 
Discount = Cost * (double (Disc) / 100.0);
cout << setw(20) << "Less" << setw(25) << Discount << " " << Disc << "%" << endl;
cout << setw(20) << "Total Cost" << setw (25) << Cost - Discount << endl;
SalesTax = (Cost - Discount) * .0775;
cout << setw(20) << "7.75% Sales Tax" << setw (25) << SalesTax << endl;
cout << setw (45) << "_________________" << endl;
cout << setw(20) << "Total" << setw (25) << Cost - Discount + SalesTax << endl;
} while (1);
return 0;
}

Basically all I did with your code is eliminate redundancy. Only have conditionals do what they need to rather than duplicate the same code over and over again.
