quick question about add the cost of the items

[beepstreet]

Im new to vb and just needed abit of help with this question i have been given.

Its about writing a program that consists of items that are priced at Glass-2, Plate-4, Table-12 and how many are sold each week.

Ive done the how many they sell each week
TotalWeek = (Glass+Plate+Table)
txtTotalWeek.Text = CStr(Totalweek)

So when i type in my textboxes by Glass,Plate,Table it adds up how many that have been sold for the week.

But how do i add the cost of the items in relation to how many ive sold?

Thanks!

anyone please?

if the prices are fixed you declare them in code

i.e.

dim priceGlass as decimal = 1.99

then you multiply the number of Glasses by the price

Dim breakfast As Double
        Dim glass As Double
        Dim plate As Double
        Dim table As Double

        glass = InputBox("Enter glass Amount")
        txtglasstotal.Text = glass


        plate= InputBox("Enter plate Amount")
        Txtplatetotal.Text = plate


        table = InputBox("Enter table Amount")
        txttabletotal.Text = table

i figured out that i had to use input boxes. so the input boxes show the quantity.
where do i put the prices here? so that it also adds the prices and the quantity?

try this. inputboxes aren't your only option. there are a lot of ways you could do this

Dim glassPrice As Double = 0.99
Dim platePrice As Double = 3.99
Dim tablePrice As Double = 2.00

Dim breakfast As Double
Dim glass As Double
Dim plate As Double
Dim table As Double

glass = InputBox("Enter glass Amount")
txtglasstotal.Text = ctype(glass * glassPrice, string)


plate= InputBox("Enter plate Amount")
Txtplatetotal.Text = ctype(plate * platePrice, string)
 


table = InputBox("Enter table Amount")
txttabletotal.Text = ctype(table * tablePrice, string)

i would simply use TextBox's and NumericUpDown's on a for instead of InputBox's
