Question

Write a cout statement so the variable sales is displayed with a precision of three decimal places, with the decimal point always displayed.

Answer 1

The statement is as follows:

cout <<fixed<< setprecision(3) <<sales;

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, I assume that the variable has already been declared.

The syntax to use is:

cout<<fixed<<setprecision(n)<<variable-name;

In this case:

`n = 3` --- i.e. to 3 decimal places

And the variable name is: sales

So, when implemented, the instruction is:

cout <<fixed<< setprecision(3) <<sales;
