Show us something you’ve tried - it may be a simple error.
You’re nearly there…
receive = children*a+(children-4)c+(children-2)b;
This line is missing some operators. (children-4)c
is not the same as (children-4) * c
.
I added some operators and extra parentheses and found your code basically works.
Edit
I should note, I added the parens just for readability - they are not necessary
Hope this help:
var allowance = [25, 12.5, 7.5]; //using array, not too much variables.
var recieved;
var child = prompt("Amount of children?");
if (child < 3) {
recieved = allowance[0]*child;
} else if (child < 5) { // you don't need '&& child > 2', it already evaluated before
//easily readable to add parentheses for each group of allowance.
recieved = (allowance[0] * 2) + (allowance[1]*child-2);
} else {
recieved = (allowance[0] * 2) + (allowance[1] * 2) + (allowance[2]*child-4);
}
//you might want to alert after the code finish giving the right value to recieved
alert("you will recieve $" + recieved);
