I have two different parts to my program. My FundRaising.java is my problem. I'm having problems with my print statements. Why are the correct numbers not showing up? I keep getting 0.
System.out.println (booster1);
System.out.println (booster2);

I ask the question to get the numbers and I keep on getting 0
System.out.println ("What is the sales for the first week:");
numBoxes = scan.nextInt();
booster1 = numBoxes.BandBooster(name);

booster1 and booster2 are Objects, you can't print them out as if they are Strings. Use booster1.name and booster2.name or whatever your instance variables are that are Strings that will print nicely. OR override the Object class's toString() method, provide your own implementation, then call booster.toString() in the println.

I don't understand what to do to fix the problem :(.

booster1 = numBoxes.BandBooster(name);

is not valid and will not compile. You need to updateSales() for "booster1", which you have a method for.
