Question

This is for Coral.

Sites like Zillow get input about house prices from a database and provide nice summaries for readers. Write a program with two inputs, current price and last month's price (both integers). Then, output a summary listing the price, the change since last month, and the estimated monthly mortgage computed as (currentPrice * 0.045) / 12.

Output the estimated monthly mortgage (estMortgage) with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:
Put estMortgage to output with 2 decimal places

Ex: If the input is:

200000 210000

the output is:

This house is $200000. The change is $-10000 since last month. The estimated monthly mortgage is $750.00.

Note: Getting the precise spacing, punctuation, and newlines exactly right is a key point of this assignment. Such precision is an important part of programming.

 

The code I have written is:

integer currentPrice
integer lastMonthsPrice
integer changeSinceLastMonth
integer estMortgage

currentPrice = Get next input
lastMonthsPrice = Get next input
changeSinceLastMonth = currentPrice - lastMonthsPrice
estMortgage = (currentPrice * 0.045) / 12

Put "This house is $" to output
Put currentPrice to output
Put ". The change is $" to output
Put changeSinceLastMonth to output
Put " since last month.\n" to output
Put "The estimated monthly mortgage is $" to output
Put estMortgage to output
Put "." to output

 

However the output does NOT have the two digits after decimal in the estMortgage variable. (IE $750.00) How do I fix this?
