Accumulator Question + Counter

-----------------------------------

Okay so my goal is to add prices together with 13% tax included in the toal bill and somehow include counter into it. But right now I am stuck on how to add them together properly. When I 
try to add numbers together with the tax number it doesn't work properly. Please help! 


%Calculating Page 

var purchasecost : real 
var taxmoney : real 
taxmoney := 0 
var total : real 
total := 0 
const tax := 0.13 
var answer : string 


loop 
put "Please enter the cost of the item you wish to purchase" 
put "Type in 0 to exit program" 
get purchasecost 

if purchasecost = 0 then 
put "Are you sure (Y/N)" 
get answer 

exit when answer = "y" or answer = "Y" 
end if 

taxmoney := purchasecost * tax 
total := taxmoney + purchasecost 
end loop 



put "The total cost for the CDs are ", total, " dollars."

It says that the values are not the same so I can't use it.

So make values the same and use it.

Serious reply: what values? Not the same what, type? Provide line number of the problem and the actual error message.
