This code is supposed to determine a salesperson's gross pay for last week, calculate and display thier earnings. The salesperson each receive $200 per week plus 9 percent of thier gross sales. The output should display like this:

Enter sales in dollars (-1 to end):
Salary is: $650.00

Enter sales in dollars (-1 to end): -1

Is my code right? I am simply confused.

// Use a while statement to determine and calculates a salesperson's earning for the week

#include <iostream> // alows program to output data to the screen
using std::cout; // displays a message
using std::cin; // allows input
using std::endl;
using std::fixed: // ensures that decimal point is displayed

#include <iomanip> // parameterized stream munipulators
using std::setprecision; // sets numeric output precision

// determine weekly sales based on 3 employee records
int total; // sum of gross sales entered by user
int salesCounter; // number of gross sales per employee
int sales; // sales value
double empSalary; // number with decimal point for empSalary

    // initialize variables
    total = 0 // intialize total
    salesCounter = 0; // initialize the loop counter

    // processing phase
    // prompt for input and read sale from user
    cout << "Enter sales in dollars (-1 to quit): ";
    cin >> sales; // input  sale or sentinel value

    // loop until sentinel value read from user
    while ( sales != -1 ) // while sales is not -1
    {
	total = total + sales; // add sales to total
	salesCounter = salesCounter + 1; // increment the counter

	// prompt user for input and read the next sale from user
  	cout << "Enter sales in dollars or (-1 to quit): ";
	cin >> sales; // input sales or sentinel value
    } // end while

    // termination phase
    if ( salesCounter != 0 ) // while the use has had at least one  
    {
	// calculate gross pay of all sales entered
	empSalary = static_cast< double >( total ) * 0.09 + 200 

	 // display total salary ( with two digits of preciscion )
	cout << "\nSalary is: " >> empSalary << endl;
    } // end if
    else // no sales were entered, so output appropriate message
	cout << "Employee does has no commission" << endl;

// this code help you to solve your problem
# include <iostream.h>

main ()
{
// array of salary
int salary[10] ;

do {
// prompt to the user
for (int i = 0 ; i < 10 ;i++)
cout << "Enter the salary ";
cin >> salary
// this loop go till that salary is greater than 0 means salar > 0
}while(salary > 0 );

}
