You forgot a ; behind the line that calculates the commission and the newline should probably be written after the price has been read and before the commission is written.

what do you mean? i don't understand.
"10234084.cpp", line 7: error(3158): expected a ";"
commission=0.075 * price cout <<"\n Your commission is"<<commission;
^
commission=0.075 * price cout <<"\n Your commission is"<<commission;
^
You have to add the semicolon at the end of the statement. change
commission=0.075 * price
to
commission=0.075 * price;
commission=0.075 * price
to
commission=0.075 * price;

They are right, you need the ";" after "commission=0.075 * price".
You will want to put an endl in apropriate places. This puts a CR/LF in and flushes the IO stream, otherwise your text might not appear on the monitor until the buffer fills up. It might not be a problem on this simple program, or with your current compiler and operating system, but you might get confused on bigger programs or if things change.
Use "cout <<"\n Your commission is"<<commission << endl;"
and
cout <<"Enter sale price"<< endl;
instead.
ALSO, you COULD HAVE put the '\n' as part of the string instead of separately
cout <<"Enter sale price\n";
