    /* Calculates total earnings of salesman per week. */

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main()
    {
    float sales, commission;
    int retainer = 200;

    printf( "Enter sales in dollars (-1 to end): " );
    scanf( "%.2f", &sales );

    while ( sales != -1 ) {
    commission = sales * 9 / 100;
    printf( "\nSalary is: %.2f\n", commission + retainer );

    printf( "Enter sales in dollars (-1 to end): " );
    scanf( "%.2f", &sales );
    }

    return 0;
