Have too many decimals in my basic program! Please help!

[md33]

I'm real new at this. I'm looking for an output that shows a number like this $500.00 instead of $500.00000001. Here's what I have so far-
import java.text.*;
import java.util.Scanner;



public class Commission{

public static void main (String[] args){
Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
double a = 1.1, b, c;

DecimalFormat formattedDollars= new DecimalFormat("$#,##0.00");








System.out.println("What is your fixed salary?");
b = kb.nextDouble();

c = b * a;

System.out.println("Your fixed salary is $" + b +" ");
System.out.println("With the current commission being 10% of total sales," +
"your total annual compensation is $" + c);


}
}

Try this...

import java.text.*;
float thePrice=10.00f;
System.out.println("The price is " + NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().format(thePrice));

System.out.println("The price is " + NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().format(thePrice));

Please stop spoonfeeding, as that denies the questioner a learning opportunity.

Possibly because that code is not in code tags, but I don't see where that DecimalFormat object you've created is actually used.
