Something's wrong with my code....

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

Hey, I know this is a stupid question, but I'm having a bit of trouble (Keep in mind I've only been doing turing for like 3 days now)

var name, article: string
var total, GST, PST: real
var subtotal: real
put "Enter customer's name."
get name:*
put "What did ", name, " buy?"
get article:*
put "Enter the subtotal of their purchase."
get subtotal:*
GST:= subtotal*.07
PST:= subtotal*.08
total:= subtotal+GST+PST
put total

Now the thing is, it keeps giving me an error saying that subtotal is wrong. What the heck? (And I know, it's a stupid assignment...it's my teachers fault :roll:
